Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Craig Day. I'm 27 years old and have been a Christian for about five and a half years. Christ came into my life September 29, 1996--the day after I lost my baby to an abortion.
I was devastated and on the brink of suicide. I woke up Sunday morning to a preacher talking on television about "valley experiences." He said that God uses these times to call to us--to bring us to Him. This was convincing enough for me, and I took Jesus Christ to be Lord of my life.
Immediately, I felt a gigantic burden lift off of my shoulders as I found myself able to forgive my girlfriend for going through with the abortion. I went on to serve in the Air Force and got stationed in Florida. I had gotten my focus off of God and began to revert back to the life I was living before I took Christ as my saviour. They call this "backsliding" and "living carnally."
I met a woman while I was there, and began living with her. She moved back to Wisconsin with me and all of my friends were telling me that she wasn't right for me. But I couldn't see it--I was blinded by sin. Eventually, she decided she wanted to move back to Florida to be with her children.
Thank God, because once her influence was gone, I began to see the error of my ways. It didn't take me long to realize that I needed to break things off with her (we were engaged), and I asked God for forgiveness. Since I was sincere, he granted me the forgiveness I was seeking.
While I was living carnally, I had come back to Wisconsin for my best friend, Brent's wedding. I was supposed to stand up in the wedding with this girl, Kristen, that I had met once before. I couldn't remember that; and after I met her again, it turns out that neither of us could remember ever meeting. We hit it off quite well at the wedding, but she was in a relationship at the time and I was engaged.
Well, after the Floridian left, the two of us met again at church. Things were uncomfortable for about 20 minutes, but we ended up praying together after she dragged me by the hand to the front of the church. That really broke down every barrier that either of us had put up and now, I'm courtin' her. It's official, we have the paperwork to prove it. I'd almost call us engaged without the hardware because I feel that God put us together.
I came up with the concept for the site when I was sitting in church one day, and we were praying over the kids. I just started balling my eyes out. What started to flash through my mind was the fact that if my baby hadn't been aborted, I'd have been sending my child off to children's church with the others. While I was crying, I was praying also, and God led me to this idea so hopefully my pain could be spent to help others. I also know that to truly grow spiritually, a person needs to spend personal time meditating on the Word of God, making it a part of them instead of just another thing to read.
This page has been a joint effort between us. The concept was mine, and I've done most of the writing. She's helped me out sooo much by taking care of all the aesthetic and technical details. She's also done some writing, but other responsibilities have dragged her away. We are now "living in sin" together, but that doesn't change my love for God and other people--it just means that we aren't married yet.
I've been through some hard times in my life, and I've learned that there is an answer for every question, a solution for every situation. All the answers for just about anything are found within the pages of the Bible.
I am a real person. I deal with problems of my own. I deal with temptation every day. I have fears sometimes. I know the answer. The answer is the Word of God, the Way, the Truth, the Light of the world-- Jesus Christ, who came not to condemn the world, but to save the world through death on a cross and resurrection from the dead.
That is why there is this page--to provide answers to teens and young adults like myself to life's most difficult questions.
