My church means everything to me because I am committed to worshiping and serving God. It’s a place where I can pray and ask God to help with my struggles in life. My church is a place where I am secure, cared for, and loved by the people around me. Most kids my age rarely attend church and dread waking up going and praising god. I consider myself one of the fortunate kids who have parents that have raised me to love church and to be happy to go and give thanks and worship the Lord for life, health and strength. I have learned so many things being in church. I’ve learned how to trust in God and never give up or second guess Him in any situation. My pastor has provided us with a Youth church, so it’s easier for me to relate and get what’s being talked about. I stay interested and involved because I understand the word that’s being spoken to us. I’ve also learned that you shouldn’t shower God with your prayers. When you pray you shouldn’t always be asking for God to do something for you, you should thank Him for what he has already done. My Church has helped me grow in ways that I cannot explain. As a person I have changed my outlook on many things, and people I surround myself with. I make better choices in life with friends. I think twice before I do anything if I know it’s not right. God is always watching and as easy as it is to sin it’s a lot easier to walk away and do what’s right.
I’ve taken what my pastor said and I’m doing things in the spirit of excellence. I wake up in the morning I thank god for letting me do so. I live by the word of God and love Him unconditionally. My church as made me the person I am today a god loving Christian. The Lord is my Shepard and he is my strength and I will forever love and worship
