If there is one thing that I truly and honestly deep down are passionate about is my faith in Christ Jesus. I am a Christ follower but my denomination is called Baptist. The reason I care about it so much is because I know he is my Lord and savior. I have been going to church my entire life so I have been taught and have learned a lot about what it means to be a Christian. I have had many mentors like Sunday school teachers, youth pastors, and especially my grandparents and mom that have taught me things just by me paying attention to how they do things. Plus it really helped me when I started middle school and especially high school. Those people really cared about me and stuck around to make sure I did well in life and just encouraged me. Having the title of a Christian in this world people are always looking at you to see if you mess up and how you react to certain things. So it is my responsibility to be an example of Christ so that people who are not saved know that it is okay to mess up, because God will forgive you if you just ask him. Having people in my life to help me out along my way is very important to me. I find it very helpful to have someone who has like forty or fifty years of experience in life to let me know kind of what I am up against. I mentioned my grandparents and my mother as being a huge part or my growing experience. My mom hasn’t always been around but for me she still is a huge blessing because of what she over came. My mom messed up and started doing drugs and was leaving me and my brothers at home when we were just kids. She would go off and do drugs and be gone for months and then those months turned into a year and eight months. So while my mom was away my grandparents had to take care of me and my brothers. They showed me what a marriage should be like. My pappy showed me how a godly man is supposed to carry himself and my grandmother wasn’t just good at cooking but at encouraging me when I was down. They would read the bible every night with me and my brothers. So when my mom came back in my life I knew that she was ready for us. I could she that she had changed and that Christ had done something to her inside of her. She now works very hard to provide for us and is an example of just one of the many things miracles that God does. That is one of the main reasons why try to do my best to follow Christ everyday. I try to be the best example I can be but I mess up all the time. Hopefully one day I can impact the world for Christ. So with saying all that the thing I am most passionate about is my faith in Christ Jesus. He helps me everyday and uses different people to help me. I might mess up but it is my responsibility to be an example of Christ so that people who are not saved know that it is okay to mess up, because God will forgive you if you just ask him.
