What's My Story
You're Always Accepted By God
Katie
Being a Christian makes a huge difference in my life everyday. Whenever I'm upset about something, or it feels like nothing is going right, I still have hope because I trust God to help me get through my problems.
I used to make all kinds of bad jokes and say mean stuff to people, and I wasn't a very good kid in my eyes. Now, I don't make those jokes because I feel guilty or like a bad person if I do. My view on life has completely changed.
God has impacted my life in many ways. One huge way would be that he showed me that I deserve to be happy with people who are Christians too. I used to have many friends who are not, and if I were to say anything Godly they would make fun of me. So, in an attempt to be accepted with them, I put god last. Finally I realized they were all really bad influences on my faith.
I realized this about 1 year ago after school ended and I went to Texas to visit my dad.
I had a lot of friends that turned their backs on me when I went to Texas that summer. When I came back I was not friends with most of my old ones, and it made me really upset and sad. Then I realized the entire time I was friends with them I was not happy and I definitely was not following God. Then, in October, I met new Christian friends, and I have been so happy ever since.
