I just wanted to share with other teenagers my testimony and how God has totally changed me. When I was 13 I entered the youth group I had an amazing youth pastor. I was totally living for God from 13-14, except I had a mindset that I always had to please everyone and that I couldn't say no if someone asked me to do something. It was when I was 15 that I really started to slip in my daily walk with Christ, I started thinking bad things about myself that I wasn't good enough for anyone, including God. I hated me and the way I looked. By the middle of my 9th grade year I had developed a eating disorder. I was 95lbs at my lowest point. On the inside I was dead, broken, I had built a wall blocking Jesus and I. But on the outside, I acted happy, like everything was just fine. When really I wasn't. My eating disorder went on for 7 months. My youth pastor finally talked to me, and with the help of God and himself I got through it, it wasn't easy but I did it. The hardest thing was destroying that wall I had built between Jesus and me. I wanted to change so bad I wanted my attitude to change and I wanted a relationship with Christ. When I was 16 I was at a youth confrence and God came down upon me, I can't even explain it. It was like a wall really was falling down inside of me. It hurt, but at the same time freedom was in my life. It had been so long since I felt free. It was an amazing feeling. I am now 18 and about to go to college in a year. God has done some amazing radical things in my life. He amazes me everyday. And that's how are relationships with Christ should be that we learn something new about him each day. I thank God everyday for the life he has given me. I just want to encourage all of you teenagers to never give up on yourselfs. When your at your lowest point, pray. The power of prayer is an amazing thing. Trust the Lord always in all you do. Please keep me in your prayers, for I do still get struggles, pray that I will listen to God and pick the best college for me. God Bless all of you! Let God be the master of your life.
