At 15 years old, I never imagined my faith would become the foundation of my life. I grew up in a Christian home, but my belief felt empty. I was more focused on pleasing people than seeking God.
When my best friend of six years ended our friendship in December 2021, I fell into a deep depression and turned to the wrong crowd, but I was drifting further away from who I wanted to be.
Then, in early 2024, I felt something different, a calling from the Holy Spirit to realign my life with God. Taking a leap of faith, I started going to church again with my family and prayed a hard prayer: to be distracted from negative influences. God answered, but it came at a cost. I lost friends, but I gained something far greater.
As I grew in my faith, I no longer felt ashamed to share it. From June to August, I lost so many friends, yet I found a sense of belonging at a new church where I felt truly at home. I stopped hiding my beliefs and noticed something amazing, my faith was influencing others.
My dad, who had never really been particularly religious, surprised me the most. When I was baptized, he was moved to tears, something I had never seen before.
That moment reminded me that my faith wasn't just changing me. It was touching my family in ways I never expected.
John 8:14 became my anchor, reassuring me that my past doesn't define me, and my future is in God's hands. Now, I walk with confidence, knowing that no matter what challenges come my way. I am never alone.
My journey hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it. Through every struggle, God has shown me that His plans are greater than mine, and that He is always faithful.
