It took me over 23 years to realize that God is with me, I grew up Catholic and went to college in Dillon. My first year at Dillon I tried the Catholic Church there and just didn’t really enjoy it at all. Then I stopped going to church, stopped believing in God all together, until towards the end of my sophomore year of college.

This is when I had a friend tell me to check out this church called the Vineyard, It was a non-denominal Christian church, so I thought why not check it out. I went to church and instantly fell in love with it, the church community was so welcoming to newcomers I have been going to church every Sunday that I can. I have never been so happy that I listened to one friend and instantly fell in love with this church and soon started to realize that there is a God out there, he is here to listen to you, here to listen to let you lean on him and just scream out to him if you must.

Your life may be falling apart, your family may be falling apart and not believing in you or in your dreams, but just because your life is falling apart doesn’t mean you stop believing in the man above. He always believes in you and always will. You don’t need to prove God wrong because he already knows you’re going to pursue your dreams.

I know that it may have took me 23 years to believe in God, but now that I do believe in him I know for a fact that no matter what happens in my crazy life he will be here for me and I will never stop believing in God, I love going to a church that is non denominal and that accepts me for me. Thank you to everyone who has and continued to believe in me, especially you God.
