I am 23 years old and I thank God for giving me a mother who loves God and who taught me from a very young age who God was. Even though my mom taught me daily about God’s love, as a young teenager, I decided to give more interest to the things of this world. Like many adolescents and young people, I spent my life looking for the pleasures of this world, but as years passed, I realized that nothing brought me true joy and happiness. When I was in college, my mother became very sick. She was in the hospital for a long time and there were times when we thought we were going to lose her. It was in this moment, that I fell at the feet of my God, like that prodigal son returning to his father. I asked God to forgive me and I gave my life to Jesus Christ. God healed my mother. He heard my prayer. He has never left me and is always with me. I rejoice because I understood that my reason for living is for Him. I praise God for allowing me to minister to other young adults, women, and children to share His amazing love. I praise God for second chances and for saving me for such a time as this.
