"I guess how I really came to know God is, I grew up in a Christian home, my whole family [is Christian]. My mom raised us doing Bible studies and listening to Christian songs in the bathtub with me and my sisters. I guess I thought I was saved whenever I was in high school- I thought I was. I was bullied a lot, though, throughout 7th grade all the way until the day I graduated high school. My junior year of high school I became really depressed from it, and I wasn’t myself anymore. I wasn’t Reagan Rowell, the fun cheerleader who’s outgoing and loves to talk to people. I became very depressed, and just kinda taking every day one step at a time and just wanting to get through the day. Never to the point where I considered hurting myself, but I just wasn’t myself anymore. I was so mean to my sisters, and I just didn’t love life. And this is going to sound so goofy, but God literally sent me Landon. I don’t know, [Landon] really just brought out the life in me again. He’s helped me find myself, and appreciate life a lot more. If I could go back and change how people treated me, I wouldn’t. I don’t think that I would appreciate life as much as I do now, I wouldn’t love or see the value of things.”

- Reagan Rowell, 19
