I wanted to use some space on my page to specifically talk about my testimony and how I found my way to Christ, since it means so much to me. I didn't have the easiest upbringing, my parents divorced early in my life and my relationship with my dad was nonexistent. I struggled with school and my mental health as well, and by the time I was in high school I resented God for the things I had been through, as well as the things my loved ones went through. As I got older, I wanted to explore religion and spirituality more, but I still had my doubts about Christianity. I had heard such negative things about the church that I wanted to stay away. Once I entered college I ended up learning more about Christianity through my boyfriend and my world religions class. I found myself agreeing more and more with what I was hearing, and more and more things made sense for me. March of 2024 was around the time I started praying, and I found a peace like no other. It became my biggest coping skill whenever I was stressed. I started realizing that God was with me and loving me long before I knew how to. He helped me survive 100% of my bad days. As much as those times hurt, I wouldn't be the same person without them. Learning about biology and geology also strengthened my faith, because I noticed how intricate life is and how precious our earth is. It's my personal belief that because of how reliable science is, proves there is a higher power. I can say with confidence that Jesus has improved my life in incredible ways and I'm happy to say I'm finally learning to value my life after so long of wanting to die.
