This is My Story.

I was just like any other kid who was raised in a ‘not so ideal’ environment. Growing up I witnessed how normal it is to argue with people and hear unkind words. Our family isn’t open to talking about how we feel so I've always felt so alone. It even came to a point that I would overthink a lot- that no one understands me. I am the youngest child in the family, I was only nine years old when my mom left us and that was the most sorrowful time of my life. I was so young, and life was so hard for me. I have a lot of questions running through my mind and feel so empty from everything that I am already experiencing at an incredibly early age.  

One afternoon my aunt and a close cousin of mine asked me to join them to attend a Sunday youth service in their church. I didn't hesitate to come with them. That was the first time I heard about the gospel, and I can't forget the verse that was shared with me that time. It is found in 2nd Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" At that time I realized how sinful I was, but I also thought that I wasn't worthy of God's love. Well, I was wrong because God said in his word- John 3:16, that His love for us is so big and immeasurable that He gave us the greatest miracle and blessing- Jesus Christ, His only Son for us to be saved. That spoke so much in my heart! That was back in 2013 when I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. I can't explain what I felt at that moment. It was such a fulfilling and unexplainable feeling when I surrendered to God all my burdens.  

After accepting Jesus in my heart, my life became far different from what it was before. Even how I view things in life has changed. Truly, we can only find love and peace in God alone. I am so blessed by how God reminded me that I am one of His children. And I was chosen.  

One of the things that I wouldn't forget until now is that I wasn't there in that church to know Christ by accident. Everything really has a purpose; He has greater plans for me. And seeing some of my family members getting to know God also and accepting Him as their personal Lord and Savior makes me so glad that I have ‘Ka-faith’ in my family. And I know it is all by God's grace.  

I am now blessed and happily serving God through my ministry here in One Body One Lord Christian Fellowship. I am here not because of my own strength and ability but it is all because of God's grace alone. To Jesus alone I give my highest praise! Glory to Him!
