My Faith Has Always Been A Part Of My Life

Faith and Church have always been important to who I am

My Faith Has Always Been A Part Of My Life
Prayer

For those who know me, they know me as a person that would not give up on his dream. In life, it should always be that way, but I can not speak for everyone, therefore I can only speak about my life. I was raised by mother, grandmother, aunt and uncles, My dad moved to Florida, but still is active in my life. I have an older brother who calls me his” younger older brother” which means I give him advice. Not only am I a brother, son, uncle, nephew, grandson, but most importantly I am a Child of God. For that reason, I can not give up on my dream in life.

For starters, I always liked going to church with my grandma. From when I was five to even know at the age of 19, I still enjoying being active in my church. The church knows me well and knows that at a young age I walk in the path of God, they know me for my strong beliefs and that my faith is stronger than most younger men. When you know what you want then you let God lead you to the right path.

Not only do I thank my mom, dad, grandmothers for supporting me through my journey, but I have to mention, Ms. Sandra Knight. Ms. Knight was a grandma to and the reason I wrote about her in my article after she died. Ms.Knight not only treated me like another grandson, but she encouraged me to keep walking in the path of God. Always praying for me and telling me to be strong. She knew as you get older it is easy to slip away from the goals, but Ms.Knight telling you that keeping God in your life will always remind you of what you are suppose to doing in life.

Finding God at such a young age, and remembering his word that he teaches us how to live, motivates me to do better and be a better person. I may not have everything, but knowing God’s riches and glory mean much more than anything. I trust him, even when things go wrong and I have to start with a plan B. My life it is based on giving up, it is based on one day telling my testimony and how God brought be over to bigger and better things in life. That God will lead me to make it in life. That I am a conqueror.

In conclusion, my life it not based on seeing what party to go to next, what can I do to try and impress my friends. It is being the person God created and wants me to. I like creating new material, like my youtube channel, writing for Odyssey and helping someone else in need. My life might sound boring, but God has a plan for me and I will stick with that plan. When I was born, I did not have to make it out of the hospital after I came out and was found not breathing, but since I am I truly am proud to worship God and not give up on my dreams of what he wants me to be! This is my life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
