When I was a kid my parents taught me day in and day out about Jesus Christ, the one and only God. I really didn’t listen to it that much. Once when we were reading the Bible it said anything can happen if you believe. My mom and dad said that if you pray, Jesus will help you. That sounded interesting to me. I was 5 years old and I prayed to become a fairy.

I wasn’t quite that smart but I really really wanted to become a fairy. I was into Tinkerbell a lot. I watched Git almost every second of the day, over and over and over again. Anyways when I prayed to Jesus I prayed for a long time. I prayed for like an hour and I believed I’d become a fairy the next day when I woke up. Of course I didn’t become a fairy and was extremely depressed about it. I did the same thing for a week and didn’t become a fairy. So I pretty much thought that God wasn’t real for about 4 years.

Again, I wasn’t that smart.

Then when I was 9 years old my parents got me a bible. They asked if I wanted one, I said yes because it looked like a cool book. That’s’ what changed my life.

When I first got it I didn’t read it for a year. Although during that year every bible study my family had I was interested in. Though I was missing some things.I didn’t fear God and I didn’t love him more than everyone else. I tried my best to do what I thought was right without actually reading the Bible. Then I was 10 almost 11 and I didn’t even know the 10 commandments.

I decided that I should read the Bible but it didn’t work out that well. I procrastinated and never got to doing it. Then after 5 months I realized that I really had to start reading the Bible or else I didn’t really know God at all and that’s when I started reading the Bible. At first I was reading 5 chapters a night starting at Genesis. I wanted to read it cover to cover. That’s when I really felt like I began to have a relationship with God. 

School wasn’t really that good for me. I didn’t get bullied but it was like I was invisible. I had no one to talk to. I was pretty smart, I got honors every semester so people just asked me for help with school work but other than that it was like no one noticed me. That’s also how I started making a relationship with God. When I was sitting down alone I thought about God. I thanked him for everything he had done for me. I talked to him and prayed that he helped all the kids at school because some of the kids were making fun of him. I didnt have the guts to stand up to them but I prayed for them. I started to talk o Jesus as if he were my friend and I loved him more than everyone else I knew.

He comforted me.

Soon though things got better I got friends and I had people to talk to but my relationship with God grew more and more. I started to fear God too. 

God has helped me a lot through my life everyday. I thank him like 100 times. He is my closest friend and my protector.
