"Ok well I grew up in church, a Christian school and a Christian home! So I had always heard about salvation and wanted to be saved and one night I was laying in bed and I could just feel God pulling at my heart and so I ran and woke my parents up and we talked and I asked Jesus into my heart. Well years passed and I was younger so ya know I had heard to live for Christ but didn't really understand and then like 2 years ago this speaker was in to talk to the youth for a retreat called front liners and since I had been in youth I never went to anything and no one really knew me cause I always had cheer or dance so I started dreading going to church and then that day the speaker was there he talked about living for God and just pursuing Him and after that message I could just feel God like pushing me and I was like "no I'm fine I'm fine" and that night we went to the service and he spoke again and I couldn't hold it in any longer so I rededicated my life and after that the youth pastor asked me if I wanted to do front liners and he'd let me do it even though I missed a few days and I didn't cause I didn't know very many people but I told him I might show up the next day and when I got home someone had posted Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose", and it encouraged me to go. And that was one of the best experiences. And I got to tell others about Christ and I made all sorts of friends from different states. And I mean since I still struggle there have been times it's like everything happens at once and I've struggled with my faith alot. I still do because ill get distracted and not spend time with in His word or just talkin to Him and it comes Sunday and its like oh wow i havent been the best servant of God now have I but He always pulls me right back and just shows me His grace and understanding. And it just amazes me because I'm so undeserving of Him but He still loves me and takes care of me. And the trials He puts us through we might not understand at the time but they only make us stronger. This last school year was the worst year of my life. Tons of drama and losing good friends and sickness and struggling. Like I struggled with bad anxiety last year and had tons of breakdowns and stressed until I made myself sick but then I found the verse Philippians 4:6, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." And it was like wow. What am I doing. God is right there willing to help me and take all of this from me. And it really helped me to grow closer to Him."
