Though my birth certificate reads 1983, I reckon I was born in 1999, when I met Jesus - not in a church or on a camp or through people, but alone in my bedroom with an open Bible and a tangible revelation that the Son of God was not only real, but alive and awesome and stronger than the chains that bound me.” PeopleRealJesusBornChurchAliveSonBirthMetsStrongerBoundsChainsRevelationsCampsBedroomTangibleCertificatesBirth Certificate Author:Brooke Fraser

“It's funny. When we were alive we spent much of our time staring up at the cosmos and wondering what was out there. We were obsessed with the moon and whether we could one day visit it.
