My Walk With Christ

Hi, I am Piper Chance and this is my walk with Christ so far. It all started in Texas when i was a young, Catholic girl who believed in God because I went to a Christian school and my parents went to church. Life was good, I went to a small Catholic church minutes from my house, had the same friends my all of life, and I enjoyed every second of it. April of 2017, my entire life was about to change. My mom came home from work and sat my sister and I down for a little chat. Soon, I realized my mom was needed to work in Georgia or else she would lose her job.

Piper wants You in her life and she does not care about her life in past, but she is focusing on the present with You. Piper is yours and she is accepting You into her heart and into her life because Piper’s everlasting father is You. Look up to your leader, the God you love and adore because you are His and He is yours, Amen.” And the rest of that night, all I can remember is that it was filled with tears of joy. Right then and there, I knew that I had accepted Jesus into my life and that was a special moment that changed my
