I grew up in a Christian home, church every Sunday, Awana every Wednesday, VBS every summer. But I did not believe. I believed God was real, but He was hateful, watching us and waiting for us to fall short. In middle school I wanted to be loved, I wanted attention from anyone who would give it to me. On the rare occasions I did get that attention, it was never enough. I always felt more empty than before. I tried to put my identity in who I could be. The smart girl, the pretty girl, anything to give me meaning. It was never enough. I became depressed and hated my life. I switched to a Christian school and hoped that would fix everything. It did not. I felt like an outsider. I was bullied for how I looked and for my church. It made me think Christianity was not the way. I wrestled with doubts for years, my anxiety and depression growing. Summer of 2025 I went to work camp. The first day there I felt God’s presence like never before. All week I craved the lessons and worship. I wanted to know God from more than just Sunday school. When I got home from camp I continued to want to know God. I confessed everything I had done, and asked for His forgiveness. I surrendered my life to Him on July 26th, 2025. My depression and anxiety were gone almost instantly. My idea of relationships are fully changed. I love the Lord and I want to know everything I can about Him in my time on this earth.
