My story begins when I was only six years old. That was the year that I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and He became a part of my life. At the time I did not know exactly what it meant to be a Christian, but I did everything a Christian would do since I thankfully grew up in a Christian home. It was not until I was a teenager until I fully understood what being a Christian meant. Experiences such as missions trips, retreats, and summer camps are what have shaped my relationship with Jesus. I will never forget my missions trip to Arizona, where we ministered to the people in an apache reservation and Jesus hit me like a bolt of lightning up on a mountain. Surrounded by stormy clouds, I could feel his presence, and I became so overwhelmed
