My Story

I grew up going to church, nothing special, go to church and have good morals. You know what seemed to be normal. I was a good student, kept to myself, and always aimed to please. Of course I had my issues, often felt lonely and was rejected frequently. I would go to church and stood for what I believed in but I knew there was more to life than this. I knew it. Being a Christian couldn't just be about to church hear some person speak and sing some boring songs. THERE had to be more. My life felt like a roller coaster and I hated it. I often would ask myself "what is even the point of me being alive?" I never attempted suicide but I definitely had deathly thoughts. But on one certain Saturday we went to church and so happened to have a special singer come. The woman's' group was called Destiny and there was something so different about her. I felt God moving that day but at the time didn't have that vocabulary of what I felt. After the service was over, a cousin of mine that previously had asked me if I wanted to accept Jesus (I always said no because I didn't want to be religious like Ive seen) came up to me and asked me again. Somehow it was different this time, as I was weeping, I agreed. On January 12th, 2001 I received Jesus into my life and I felt as if NOTHING could defeat me! I wasn't the same. My life did not become perfect by far but I started to understand who Jesus was and what it meant to be a CHRISTIAN. I had a lot of growing in the faith to do, I stumbled many times and some might  say that I back slid...but by Gods mercy he kept me and had never left me! And it has been the most amazing adventure I could ever ask for!
