My Testimony

I grew up in church, going to camps, going to youth group, and with an amazing family, but this summer (2022) I had my eyes completely opened to the life I was living and it changed me. Through high school and Freshman year of college, I battled with lust and partying, and drifted farther and farther from the Lord.

At the start of this summer, I stopped going to church altogether and my life became gray. I was irritable and upset, caught in the hamster wheel of life. I was trying to do life in my own, running as hard as possible, looking for answers, but always came up empty handed. Like James said, my faith was dead, and so was my Joy (James 2:17). But there were bigger plans I couldn’t outrun.

I realized that this life was not the one designed for me, nor was it fruitful. A friend spoke over me John 15. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” I was trying so so hard to do life on my own. To find joy and happiness in partying, and in fruitless relationships and weekend choices. He told me to let go and come back home.

I found that he wants a relationship with me, with all of us even, and not just my beliefs and religion. To burn down the boxes I had put him and to let him work on my heart and change me from the inside out through His Spirit. To seek Him, and find Him when I seek Him (Jeremiah 29:13). I don’t have all the answers and will certainly never be perfect, but I can tell you He has changed me, is continuously changing me, and He is willing to do the same for you.

He wants to love you so desperately, so why not turn around and let him?

I LOVE YOU.
