I was born in 1990 into a Christian family and since I was raised in the church, I "asked Jesus into my heart" at a very young age. I didn't really understand what that meant, though- it was just kind of something I was expected to do. God wasn't a reality in my life and I didn't have a relationship with Him. We moved up here in 1999 and started coming to CCE right away, but I drifted away from the Lord and tried to fill the emptiness I felt with stuff like school, sports and friends. Needless to say, it didn't work particularly well- I had been, as Isaiah 55:2 puts it, "spending my labor on what does not satisfy." But just when I was at my lowest, I graduated into the Sr. High youth group and met Jesus Christ as if for the first time. It didn't take long before I fell in love with Him, and I surrendered my life to Him on the retreat that summer. That was 4 years ago, and a lot has happened since then, but the Lord has been with me through it all. He has blessed me abundantly, given me peace in life's rough places, and astonished me with His grace time and time again. My plans for my future are pretty fuzzy, but I want to go wherever the Lord leads me. I'm currently a senior in high school and I'm planning to go to college next fall to study education(?). :)
