One of the things that I feel I wish I talked about more is my Faith. It's so important to me, but sometimes I feel like I am not as open about it as I should be. But at the end of the day, my love for Jesus should definitely be something that I share with everyone, and I want to try and do that more. That's why I'm making this post today.
My grandfather was a priest. In fact, that's why my family is in the US to begin with. Growing up, he was my best friend, and he was so important to me throughout everything that I did, especially after he passed away when I was 6 years old. Though I didn't know him for long, I continued to learn more about him for the rest of my life, and one of the things that I always aspired to connect to him with was my faith.
My parents didn't take me to church every week of my life, even though they are both strong Christians. In 7th grade, as I was learning so much about the world, I learned that there were so many injustices and terrible things happening. It caused me to question God and how good He was. It was a really pivotal time in my life, and I had never questioned something and felt so guilty about it. But in 8th grade, as I participated in my First Communion and Confirmation, I was able to find a balance between trusting in God and sharing HIs love with the world.
I continued this throughout high school, though I did not truly discover my faith until a worship camp in 10th grade. I feel that I finally felt connected to God and felt his presence. When I went to college, I found an amazing church that showed me the same atmosphere as the worship camp, and my faith has grown so strong since then.
At this point, I am going through a season of pain and uncertainty. But the one thing that is providing me peace right now is my faith in God, and the knowledge that Jesus loved me enough to die for me. Though things are tough now, I know that God loves me, and I am going to be okay. God has a plan for me, just as He has a plan for each and every person. And though I may not realize what that is yet, there is so much in store for me.
