The Four Years Of My Life-Personal Narrative

Dr. Seuss once said, “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” Trying to remember what happened to four years of my life and what those four years were filled with is tough. It’s so easy to remember the valleys and not the mountains. However, looking back on my years at Unity, I learned something incredibly valuable. Unity has taught me what it’s been trying to teach me since I walked through the door for the first time freshman year. I see how God walked beside me and that he will continue to do so for the rest of my life. God was there freshman year. I wouldn’t say he was silent, but more like quietly working. I cared more about my grades than I did making new friends or getting involved, but something …show more content…
I shouldn’t have to change myself so I could be friends with a group of people I didn’t even like anymore. I found three girls who forever changed my life. They showed me how much fun high school was and how beautiful life could be. Freshman year, I ran cross country and that was about it. Sophomore year, I ran cross country, played soccer, was in the Sound of Music, Knightsounds and Instruments of Praise, and sang in chapel for the first time. I began doing things that I loved and I found people who wanted to be with me, who wanted to invest time in me. It was beautiful.

Ephesians 6:11 tells me that when I am prepared in God, I can stand courageously. Joshua 1:9 talks about how I can be courageous because the God of the universe is on my side. Knowing that God is in control, I can embrace life’s storms. This is taken from one of my favorite songs, Oceans, which talks about how God will carry us through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Our souls will rest with God because I can’t be taken from him and he can’t be taken from me. Having the knowledge that God will never leave us, helps us believe anything is possible. This statement is found in Matthew 9:22b-24. “‘But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” This is a really profound and important statement. I think Jesus gets frustrated when we put him into a box and pick parts of the Bible that fit our lifestyle, but ignore the rest. All things are possible for the one who believes. I’m the type of person who believes that crazy things can happen, but just thinking about that Jesus says all things are possible is mind-blowing. Without Christian
