In September 2024, everything changed for me. I met an incredible group of people who quickly became lifelong friends—and through them, I was introduced to someone I didn’t even realize I needed.

For years, I was lost without knowing it. I tried to fix everything on my own, carve my own path, and carry the weight of life by myself. In doing so, I hurt people along the way. No matter how much I pretended things were fine, I was walking blindly down a path of emptiness.

For a while, I believed I could balance it—living for myself while still trying to live for God. I talked the talk, but my life told a different story. I was following a distorted idea of religion without a real relationship with God. I didn’t even realize there was a difference until I met Jesus through @runwchrist.

God blesses obedience—not a half-in, half-out kind of life. Walking with Jesus isn’t just a Sunday routine; it’s a daily surrender. When I finally gave Him everything, I experienced a joy and peace I never thought was possible.

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d ever reach this point—and I’m sure many others didn’t either. But here I am, by the grace of God.

Thanks be to Him!
