I have been blessed to have grown up in a Christian family and community. I came to know the Lord early in life and I accepted Jesus into my heart in elementary school. During my middle school and high school years I grew closer to the Lord but didn’t really make my faith my own and was just going through the motions. During my first two years of college I struggled with anxiety, perfectionism, and trying to do everything on my own. In that time my relationship with Jesus was not my priority and I was turning to worldly sources of validation. It wasn’t until my last two years of college where I genuinely started to invest in my own personal relationship with Christ. I let the Lord meet me where I was at, and His grace transformed the desire of my heart. The Lord has been faithful time and time again and He is the sole ruler of my heart. My insecurities and anxieties have been replaced by the love and security that Christ gives me. I have a new identity in Christ and a desire to live more righteously for Him. I want to be baptized as a symbol of the transformative work of Christ in my life and to publicly declare my faith and personal relationship with Jesus.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” — John 14:27
