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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
