“You will never influence the world by trying to be like it” (Unknown). This quote really impacted me, because I had always felt different like I did not fit in and I constantly tried to do so. But this quote motivated and encouraged me to be true to myself, it helped me finally understand that there is nothing wrong with being different. The world is messed up and I like most people was looking for answers in the wrong way. I was looking for love, acceptance, happiness etc. When I thought the world could offer me that, instead it made me go contrary to the principles of God for a while. I fought with Him a couple of years ago, and my life was a mess and I was completely lost. How, you may be wondering? There was a point in my life where I

Three letters and the best ones out there; God. A certain experience helped me follow God's path again and changed my life completely. I started to know Him again and He completely took control of my life and turned it around making it so much better and great. Around summer of 2016 when I was 14 I heard about this mission school in a church in Cartagena, Colombia associated with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). It was a program of around 1 month and a half were all the students needed to live together in an apartment, attend classes from Monday through Saturday and attend the church on Sunday.

This words came out of her mouth ¨Aleja right now I feel God is telling me this, there is a huge piano and you are playing it at the same time you are dancing around it all for his praise and glory¨. Everything and every detail I was imagining she said it out loud and I fell onto my knees and a river of tears came out of my eyes. I was so happy I finally knew this was God and his unique/perfect way of revealing himself. My heart was on fire, I had goosebumps all over my body and I got this unexplainable feeling that is God´s presence. I opened the door for Him and having Him in my heart is the best thing that has and will ever happen to me. The minute He entered my life again I became a totally different person. I continue to have hunger for Him and desire to be like Him more everyday. He is my Father, my first love, my bestfriend etc. Everything a person could ask for He is and surpasses that. He is GOD, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. He is real and certainly NOT
