Life Changing Experiences

I used to not believe in life changing experiences. Which as a Christian, (albeit a rotten one at times) is pretty sad. I was of the mindset that every change is the result of a million little changes and is not traceable to one, defining instant. You know, those sort of magical movie moments where a person throws up their arms in defiance/enlightenment and (fortunately for them and the viewer) turn from an ugly, fat (hairy, oozy, multiple-eyed, etc) caterpillar into a pretty butterfly. Coo-ee.

Even being saved - I thought, (and, actually, still think to an extent) it's more the culmination of changes throughout my life, witnessing God's love from different Christians, feeling the Holy Spirit draw me, understanding the significance of Jesus more and more, realizing my own sinful self's helplessness, and so on. I cannot point to one specific time in my life and tell you, "I was saved in that area. " I really don't know. I prayed the prayer to recieve Christ as a young, young child - was I saved then? I don't think I understood till I was older, but then, I'm not sure... The important thing is that I know I am saved, even if I'm not exactly sure when.

But, as of today, I'm convinced that there are life changing moments. Catatlyst moments, if you will.
