I'm crazy bout God and love goin to church. Music is my passion. I can't sing but I love listening to music and writing poems and songs. I just started playing the guitar in December and I love it! I love being around my friends, especially my church family. I would do anything for my friends, even if its getting up at 3 in the morning to comfort them in their time of need. I would die for them. I have an amazing church family and I thank God for them everyday. I asked God into my life in June and im so glad I did. Nothing has been the same since. I celebrated my first christmas this year and it was awesome. It was about more than just opening presents and eating food. It was about Jesus. I encourage you to ask God into your life. He is amazing and has done so much for me. He can do the same for you no matter what your life is like. Whatever you've done wrong in your life God will forgive you for it. All you have to do is ask. The one thing that I want everybody to feel is what its like to have a relationship with God because it is such an amazing feeling and I wouldnt trade it for anything. God is knocking. Are you going to open the door and let him in?

My Testimony
About a month before school ended last year(April 2008), I got very sick and nobody knew what was wrong with me. Then when I was finally able to go back to school, people started saying things about me that weren't true but my friends believed them, so I lost many of my friends. Around this time is when I started doubting God and his existence. I started thinking, "Well if there really is a God and he's as great as they say he is, he would make everything better, he wouldn't do this to me." Therefore, I stopped praying and going to church for a while. I got depressed and I was crying myself to sleep at night. I even started thinking about what it would be like if I wasn't here, if everybody would be happier without me. Something told me to talk to Sam and his wife Valery (my youth pastor and his wife) about how I lost all my friends. They gave me a lot of great advice and I know they would always be there for me no matter what, which really helped a lot. Then Sam and Valery convinced me to go to church camp(June 2008). One of the services really touched me and what was going on in my life. The pastor told us a story about how a bunch of bad stuff was happening to him. His wife and new baby were in the hospital. His wife was about to die and the doctors said there was nothing they could do for her. He got really mad at God because of what was going on. He left the hospital in the pouring rain and went to be alone. Then he realized that he needed to praise god and stay close to him in the midst of the storm. So he asked god for forgiveness. Then when he went back to the hospital, his wife was fine and in her room eating cheerios. That story made me realize that God was there for me the whole time I was sick and alone with no friends. He has always been there and always will be. That night I rededicated my life to Christ. Since then god has led me to help other people, it hasn't been smooth sailing, and I know it won't be, but with God's help I know I can make it through and I will never doubt him again. To this day, I truly believe that all those things I went through with my friends and being sick were to lead me to him. Now I've gotten good Christian friends who care about me and have my best interests at heart and my health has also gotten alot better.

If theres alot going on in your life right now and you feel like everything is going totally wrong, run to god as fast as you can. Recklessly trust him. No matter what your situation is God can help you. He can give you a new life.

If you pray why worry? If you worry why pray? God is listening to what you have to say just keep on praying."Keep asking and it will be given to you. Keep searching and you will find. Keep knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks recieves, and the one who searches finds, and the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8
