#TELLYOURSTORY

hellooo fam!! i just finished Teachable Tuesdays with Beth Davis from Blessed Is She and she challenged us to #TELLYOURSTORY i encourage you to share your story too! here we go!

this is my story.

july 2019. my first steubenville conference in ATL. on saturday we had adoration and somehow ended up in the front row. i got to see Jesus up close. He was right there in front of me. i was so happy words, cannot express! that's when my whole life changed. the moment when my friends where around me, worship music playing in the background, my Father just looking at me. it all changed. i felt so unworthy, but i heard Him say "you are loved. you are worth it. you are chosen." i felt it. i felt His love. for the first time, that was the moment i knew, without a doubt HE IS REAL. my Jesus is real and He will be with me wherever i go. that was the moment i gave my life to Him. i opened my heart to Him and He transformed it. i began to cry and ask for forgiveness. i couldn't stop thinking about all the times i'd hurt Him and yet He still loved me, He still went after me. He left the 99 for me. this thought broke my heart. how can someone love me so much? i can't even describe how i felt. it was like i was aware of everything going on around me, but i was somewhere else. i think this moment really formed my love for Eucharistic Adoration. i love to just sit and rest in Jesus. i don't have to say anything and neither does He. we just sit looking at each other. 

i felt Jesus that day, in that huge auditorium with so many teens, just worshiping God. Our Merciful Father! He touched my heart and i will never be the same. a few weeks after, like every human, i began to fall back into the same habits, and i became distant again. but every time i stepped into a chapel, i relived that same moment when Jesus said "you are loved. you are worth it. you are chosen." 

now that you read my story, i encourage you to do the same! go out and tell people how Jesus saved you, how He opened your heart, how He changed your life. 

until next time!
