Before finding my faith, I honestly didn't care about much and just drifted through my days without a real purpose. Everything felt kind of random, and I wasn't putting effort into my schoolwork, my hobbies, or how I treated people. However, learning about Jesus and His love for me completely shifted my perspective. I realized that God didn't just create me to "get by"; He created me with a specific purpose and a plan for my life. Now, instead of being indifferent, I try to live with intention and care about everything I do. Whether it’s how I show up for my team, how hard I study, or how I treat my friends, I want to be the best version of myself that God intended me to be. Knowing that my life has a divine meaning gives me the motivation to work hard and honor Him with my actions every single day.

Jesus has helped me so much through everything! First when I was diagnosed with Status Migranousis a chronic migraine disorder! These migraines put me in the hospital so many times and before I was diagnosed it was doctor after doctor telling us the same thing! It was very hard to stay present in my faith especially since this happened when I was young! After many more doctors visits and trips to the hospital for tests we finally got the answer and got the help I needed! The day I got diagnosed me and my mom were driving home when I saw a bible verse on the back of someone’s car. It was Isaiah 41:13 “ “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” ,reading this I realized that God HAD been listening the whole time and helped me through my diagnosis. He knew we would find an answer! I was overjoyed and couldn’t stop smiling once I realized! I still can’t believe it till this day 5 years later that he was with me through the darkest time of my life!
