My AAHAHA Moment with God!

Hello readers! I can't believe this is my first blog post. For you guys to get to know me better, I am going to talk about how I came to God; my AAHA moment.

I grew up in a Christian home, so not going to church every Sunday was not an option. My parents always talked about God to my brother and I which was more them telling us who God was to them. Being young, I took what they said, and thought to myself that this is how my relationship with God is supposed to be; not knowing that every individual has an unique relationship with the One and Only.

The situation that I finally realized what my relationship was with God was when my parents got divorced. This time of my life was heart wrenching. It felt like my whole word was coming to an end because my dad was the apple to my eye. He let down not only my mom, but his family because he had affairs. That year was me questioning the Lord "Why?". Why would God let this happen to me? Why would he break up my family and cause all of this grief? What I didn't realize was this wasn't God's doing. It was sin. I failed to realize that sin is apart of everyone; it was apart the very existence of creation all starting with Adam and Eve.

When I felt like I was not getting any answers, I gave up, but it in a good way. You are probably thinking, is that even possible? Yes. I gave up in the aspect of putting all my trust in God. The weight of the stress and hurt was finally lifted off my shoulders. That moment, I decided to deepen my roots in my own relationship with God instead of listening to everybody else. I wanted to figure out God and I are supposed to work together; not with the rest of the world.

Since then, my growth with God has been fantastic. I have found things for myself that have changed my life which I will go more into detail later... Hehe, but I encourage every one of you to ask yourself, " Am I living in MY relationship with God, or am I living in the relationship that I think people want me to have with God?

Until next time,

XOXO
