~Eighth Grade~

New teachers , new grade. Two credit bearing classes and good grades. Once again, I attended the camp. It started to sink in, but as you can very well guess. I turned back.

During the middle of my eighth grade year my family moved and I had to start at a new school again. About a month after being at my new school I had a boyfriend. One month and a couple weeks later we broke up, but remained friends.

Two weeks later after our break-up I went back to camp. I was honest and humbled. I again learned truth, but this time after going home, I sought truth. I was rediculed by friends. One asked me ,"So how's Jesus today" , another,"So how's Jesus girl" . The comments weren't bad. But it still hurt, it didn't hurt enough to make me turn back from God once again.

I began reading the bible and praying everyday. I was truly seeking truth. And since I was seeking with my heart, I was recieving.

I went to summer camp and the experience was amazing. I was active with my youth group, I even participated in a dance. I was filled with the Holy Ghost, and most importantly I was filled with hope. My mom and step-dad are not saved, and It's been my prayer for them to be saved. I had just about given up, and then the Lord told me Serve me, and continue to witness. This is how I know without a doubt that they will be saved. This is how I know that there is a loving Father above. I was a believer before, but this had re-instituted those beliefs.

I went back home and kept with me what I had been taught, I continued reading and praying and seeking. I can promise you that I am not disappointed. If you feel like you have failed God or that He doesn't love you. One, You can never fail God unless you turn your back on him completely. He loves you so much, that there practically is no way to fail him. And when your hurting and think He doesn't love you, no one does. He loves you even deeper and wishes you would come crying to him so he can take the pain away.

Camp is where I was saved, where I found my Father and my home. Without it, I have no idea where I would be.

This was a short version of how I came to the Lord. I hope whatever you religion is, that it did not offend you. And if you have questions always feel free to message me. I will always have an open ear to someone, I don't care If I know you or if I don't

~Love always,
