i purposely fell into a mud puddle in my easter suit so i could change into jeans. i felt the need to repent after that...
I don't remember any of what I said as 'consciously rejecting God' per se. But I was aware I needed him and didn't know 'how' to do it or after the initial 'pulling' for the next several years I had no desire to do it, but at the same time being conscious that I needed to get 'saved'.

I never consciously rejected God but I did become ice cold in relation to him. I remember getting caught up in an argument between a christian and a mocker as a teenager. The mocker sensed that I was probably not a believer and pressured me into joining him but I just went tough and flagged an "I dont know". My attitude was that I didnt care about such things unless God would make himself undeniably real. Not that I gave it much thought. I'm sure my various sins contributed to the ice though.

I never consciously rejected God. I was looking for Him until He found me.
I did not think of myself as a sinner. I was a "good boy." But in college, I was empty inside and looked for God by investigating Christian Science and Bahai before meeting a bunch of Campus Crusaders (and a coworker) who shared the Four Spiritual Laws with me. I had to take by faith the step that said I was a sinner because I still didn't feel the weight of my sin. It was after I became a Christian that sin became real to me.

What I was doing I inherently knew was wrong, and yet I did it anyhow.
I can think of an amusing time that I rebelled against my Parent's rules. I was probably 5, and I was wearing those tennis shoes with the cute cartoon characters on the bottom...bugs bunny probably. I remember this, because my cousin and I were on the front porch at my Grandparent's beach house, and he dared me to kick out the screen. I looked down at my little sneakers KNOWING it was wrong, and yet I had to impress my cousin, and I kicked out the screen.
