You give me ten times more. Because You are God, and You are good.
For eighteen years of my life I struggled with religion and figuring out what exactly I believed in. Neither of my parents are religious so I wasn't really getting any encouragement there, and when I went to church with my grandparents I didn't really enjoy myself. But then I started going to youth group and although it was hard feeling like I fit in, I had a lot of fun. I had some frustrations because it seemed like all of the other kids there knew how they felt about God and had all of this faith and I just felt like I shouldn't be there because I was still searching. But this spring, when I was struggling with school and being away from home, Jordan gave me the push I needed. He gave me a bible to read, took me to his youth group, and encouraged me to believe. And that is the greatest gift that anyone could have ever given to me. I am still struggling, a lot, but I feel so much better, and I feel like I found something that I'd been missing. And it's amazing the things that God has done for me in these past few months, how many times he's answered my prayers, and gone beyond that. I feel so loved, and complete, and happy.
Life is good.
