I thought i'd share this... my faith journey ♡ I grew up in the church, going to church every Sunday, a weekday Bible study, and I knew who Jesus was, but I had gone to a huge church with thousands of people attending each week, and they were very showy and almost like a concert (no hate for anyone who goes to one like this, I also think it's super empowering for your faith!)... so in 2019 my family started searching for a new home church, we tried I think three different churches, all a bit different. and to this day I still go to one of the churches we decided not to go to for youth group, and they've been such a blessing in my life! anyways, we landed on a small church with tons of little kids and maybe around eighty people in the congregation, and we decided to become members. around two years later, after a year online because of COVID, I got baptised. at this point, I was around 12 years old, and at this time I was still kinda lukewarm in my faith if yk what I mean. fastforward another year, I was struggling with my grades to keep them where they needed to be, and was so overloaded I felt like I was gonna pop. this was my hardest season of faith. I was rushing my Bible study less than an hour before I had to leave for that Bible study, cramming everything in, and my prayer life went almost straight to a zero. then I went on a retreat with my youth group and it was an amazing experience, and I really felt like God was with me. but after retreat, a week or so later, I returned to my bad habits and procrastination and continued like this for the next few months. then, this past August, I was in the car driving up to my family's cottage, and found these podcasts: that Christian girl and the Christian girl's tea. you guys don't know how much these two changed my life. all the sudden my faith rose up and took charge, I was constantly in prayer, and reading my Bible. and this was within a day, maybe less than that. and ever since then i've felt so much happier and less stressed, and I know for a fact it's all Jesus. how do I know? because i've constantly seen him working in my life, even in the little things. last year I had terrible acne from stress, but now, even as a freshman in high school, my acne's gone down so much. last year I was scared to share my faith, but now (i'm still working on it) I can share it a bit more readily than I could before. and so many more ways i've seen God working in life and in other people's lives. and of course this isn't the end of my story, so if any of you guys are interested, i'd gladly do a continued story of my faith ♡ Jesus loves you so much- don't you ever forget it.
feel free to remix with your faith journey ♡
