SUSANNA // 1st YEAR - LAW

Being a pastor’s kid is so incredible yet so tough. Growing up, I felt the need to perform, to be the perfect Christian with no struggles.
I had to make sure people loved me-and when they didn’t, I crumbled. Behind closed doors, I was hiding deep issues of intense fear and severe anger issues. I was this raging, scared girl, terrified of death and running to anger as my comfort.

When I was 13, at a youth service, I heard a sermon that shook me. It was like the speaker knew my whole life story. Jesus was the way out of my fear, anger. Through Him, I could have assurance of my destination after death. That night, I decided to follow Jesus and invite Him into my mess.

I encountered Jesus’ love and His passion for me first hand; once I encountered Jesus, I couldn’t look back!
In an instant, my anger issues and fear just left me. I began to throw myself into Jesus’ arms at every hardship or disaster. He took all of my weaknesses and covered them with His strength. Now I live in total freedom, knowing that Jesus’ love for me is never going to change. You can know that for yourself too!
