God

“ I had tried to fill the
place in my life that the Lord was
supposed to fill
with worldly things and they did not
satisfy me”

Through High School I was always a “good kid”
someone who was leading retreats and praying and
in general trying to live for Christ. I then
went to the University of Michigan, my first
time living on my own, outside my Christian
bubble. I made a lot of decisions for myself
instead of for the Lord. I chose to drink and
party, I chose to get into a relationship that I
was not ready for and I kept justifying these
decisions and making excuses.
Then toward the end of my freshman year one of
my friends saw what was going on with me and she
called me out on it. It shook my perception of
how I was living and I saw the life I was
leading for what it was a lot of emptiness. I
had tried to fill the place in my life that the
Lord was supposed to fill with worldly things
and desires of the flesh and they did not
satisfy me.
It was the first time in my life when I realized
how much I truly needed God. Luckily, I had a
solid community around me and I was able to
learn how to live for God in college and how I
needed to walk with Christ.
Ever since that point I have striven to choose
for God in all areas of my life, and I have
failed many times but I continue to try to
choose for Him with the support of my community
and with the strength of God.
