I cannot believe how much I’ve changed. This time last year, I was so lost. I was confused. There was something empty in my life. I didn’t accept God. I didn’t believe in Him. I scoffed at Christianity. I claimed myself as an “agnostic.” I thought we came from somewhere/someone else besides God. Oh, how I was so wrong about ALL of this.

This is the most important reason to why I love Chris so much. He brought me to God and he opened my eyes to the truth. From then on, I couldn’t STOP seeing God’s work in my life. He works in EVERY aspect of my life every single day. I feel chills as I am writing this because I know that He is working in me right now for me to type this fast. I know He is there. I know He loves me. I was so stupid to never accepted it. My entire life, I’ve been searching for something MORE. I’ve been trying to fill this void with boyfriend after boyfriend. I’ve been trying to fill this void with friends who would always leave me. Boyfriends who would break my heart and left me. Now, I finally realized that God had made all those people appear and disappear in my life because He wants me to realize that I should not depend on anyone. I should not fill my void with any other person. I should cast all of my loneliness on HIM. All of the bad and horrible things that has happened to me, happened to me for a reason. It was to teach me to stop making the same mistake. I needed to be with Him and ONLY Him. I don’t need anyone else in my life. Ever since I’ve realized this, I’ve been feeling so much better. People laugh at me for my beliefs and I don’t care. I am not discouraged. I am still going to grow in my faith for Him. I’m giving more and more of my worries to Him. He’s been there for me whenever I’ve been down. He’s helped me grow up so much. People think I talk and act mature (or so that’s what I’ve been told many times) but they never give the credits to the one person who made me that way. He made me this way. He gave me the knowledge that most people my age lack. He gave me the maturity and also the immaturity to keep me humble. I have a lot more to grow and a lot more to learn but I know I will learn them in time. I know He will be there with me every step of the way. I am so happy in my life because now that I know the truth. I anticipate every Bible study I have. I anticipate answering all the Bible study questions so I can be answered. I love learning more and more of the Bible. I love reading the Bible.

I can never thank God enough for all of my blessings. I’ve been SO blessed in my life that I couldn’t even count it all. I may not be rich in terms of finance, but to me, I am rich in God’s love. He provided me with so many things. He gave me a loving family. Hard working, loving, devoted parents. Caring and loving brothers. He granted me my dream job to teach me a lesson that I needed to learn. He gave me a great boyfriend who not only treats me extraordinary well, but He chose this boy to bring me to Him. He gave him the hard task of opening my eyes because He knows that Chris can do it. I truly believe that is a great honor for God to think that you can do that. I have a great car that may not look great, but it is REALLY good on how old it is. He gave me His guidance, love, and grace. He gave me so many more things in my life that it would take forever for me to name them all. I am so happy that I’ve changed for the better. I am so happy that I’m closer to Him. The happiest thing you need to know is that God will never leave you even when everyone else has.
