I grew up atheist. I came to realize that atheism doesn't work so I became a Christian. Not my choice. God called me.

@hippyjoe1955 I had a similar experience to you - brought up away from Christianity mostly, and despite my best efforts to run away from God He still found me and brought me into his flock! I think there's something really wonderful about the whole free will/predetermination paradox...

@similarexperience Very true. I would love to claim credit for my choosing God but I know in my heart of hearts that He chose me. I am seemingly along for the ride.
