changed my Life drastically was raised in a Christian family and baptized when I was Younger I understood what baptism was But once I turned a certain age I went Down a dark Road growing up I was raised In a Christian home and considered Myself to be a good person but mostly Was a Sunday Christian I had one foot in And one foot out the door causing me to Still conform to The Way of the World my Junior year of high school I was Scrolling on Tik Tok and came across a Video about becoming a follower of Christ I was in and out of church Growing up but never decided to pursue a Relationship with God After High School Graduation I started attending Tarleton Where I met some Christians and the Lord Started to draw me to himself growing up My family and I often went to church and While my aunt was battling breast cancer She would often read scripture to me When she was in the hospital for Treatment God has called me to Rededicate my life publicly and to Unashamedly confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior his grace that’s brought Me safe us far and Grace will lead me Home my hope is that people see the love Jesus has for all of us the sacrifice he Did for us all and that those who are Lost come home to our father just like I Did and F the love and peace want to be More like him to hopefully lead others To him the way that this church has Helped me I don’t want to be halfway Anymore I want to be Allin because of God’s love and mercy For us I know I am forgiven and I will Continue to live my life for him and Repent of my sins now I strive to Glorify him every day and Lead others Around me to Christ and spread the joy That Jesus brings to others I know that I can lean on Jesus through it all I Will continue to run toward Jesus every Day and even when I struggle I know

mighty Oaks and to Tell you about that watch this Video we live in a country with nearly 23 million veterans sadly many of those Who have served come home carrying the Invisible scars of war with 22 veteran Suicides each day these men and women Often live in despair Mighty Oaks Warrior programs challenges these Warriors to pursue a purpose beyond Their service by acknowledging the Difficulties they face we equip them to Embrace a bright future there is a Solution to the Brokenness experienced By so many for more information or to be A part of that solution visit us at Mighty Oaks program.org I mean that’s a pretty quick video a Snapshot but that horrific statistic of 22 veteran suicides a day we we as a Church family and as a staff so we we Want God to use us to do something about That and so I believe one of the better Ways uh is to support organizations like Mighty Oaks who takes the power of the Gospel and what blows my mind is every Time I watch a video like that I Recognize some what I would call some Pretty special and specialized operators That I didn’t know before watching Videos like that were followers of Christ and they they take the power of The gospel and they allow it to breathe Hope and healing and life into some of These veterans that are struggling and It’s an honor to support an organization…
