I can honestly admit I was pretty messed up. I went to Livingstone since I immigrated here but I never paid attention or cared to listen. My selfish and diabolical life became quite clear that I was very self-centered and I lived in my life only for myself. I honestly felt real bad. Then, I decided to pay attention to church for once. The message was trials and temptations. The message said things about all humans are tested and constantly tempted by evil ways and things. I knew for sure God was directly talking to me. Reflecting back, I was messing up in school, ignoring every good advice given to me, and doing and saying very bad things; one which got me suspended for five days away from school.
In the summer of 2011, the REACh youth camp came up and I decided I needed a change for good. I had begged my mom to go and she let both my brother and I go. The first day was so amazing. I realized how much God loves me and that he died on the cross to be punished for the things I’ve done. On that day, I accepted Jesus as my King and personal Savior and desired to know him more.
I felt so blessed and still feel so. All I want now is to shine light throughout everywhere I go, school, church, etc… I want to get baptized now because I am overwhelmed by God’s beautiful grace and mercy. I just want to tell others to get off the road of destruction that sin leads to and to get on the road that leads to God.
