Throughout my life I have always known that I was a Christian. I went to church on Sundays with my mom and had a Bible somewhere on my bookshelf. However, it wasn’t until sixth grade that I began to understand what that meant.
I had just started attending this youth group in town when I fell in love with Jesus. I began going to bed at 8:00 at night just so I could wake up at 5:00 to read my Bible before school. I began praying for a family that would all go to church together every Sunday. And most importantly, I began to pray.
It wasn’t until eighth grade that I would begin to see my prayers answered. After moving back to my old town, one of my friends invited me to a new youth group. I instantly fell in love and went home to rave about it. Within just a few weeks, both of my parents started to attend, and we have been going twice a week for the past 4 years.
While I would love to say my journey with God has been easy ever since, I cannot lie. I went through numerous health and family problems that in the past have both shaken and strengthened my faith. However, I have decided to not let that hold me back from sharing some of the knowledge I have gained from these experiences and the journey I will continue to pursue. So, welcome to the Christian Girl Diaries.
