I could be labeled a nomad. My life has been nowhere near "normal." I would like to think that I have wandered on my own path. Life is not always easy, but one thing has always stayed steady.
I was raised in a Christian home, going to church every Sunday. I always strived to be a "good Christian," and it did not automatically click with me that my faith was more than that. It is about a relationship. My journey with Christ has had its highs and lows. When I was fourteen years old, God showed me that He wants a relationship with us, as His followers. As I started building my faith, I felt God calling me to higher choices. Whether that was homeschooling in high school or serving Him in Guatemala, I know that amazing events in my life were not by coincidence.
I love the short slogan, “Freedom through faith.” I often feel as that freedom is missing. Although I may not always agree with other ways, I believe people express their faith through different types of worship and various types of living. I love being around others who strive to grow, but also with variety. Acts 4:32 comes to mind, which says “Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.” Although we may be different, and it may seem like we have nothing in common, through Christ, we can have everything in common.
Through Him, I have learned and matured. Whether it was about His provision, faithfulness, love, or grace, I constantly find more and more. It never runs low. He shows himself to me daily in His almighty love and grace. There is a reason why I need a Savior. I am a broken sinner. But God amazes me. I have seen Him work through my life in powerful ways, of which I am undeserving. Through this crazy journey called life, He is always faithful.
