I am 26 yrs old, been married and going through a divorce, the funny thing is, it could possibly be the best thing that has ever happened to me, (not that I am happy I have a marriage under my belt at 26) but I'm happy as it brought me to God. It has made me look inside myself to find ME, to find the person God has a master plan for, I have been lost for the past 5 yrs. I used to be very confident and thought I knew what I wanted out of life… and come to find out, I really don't. Now I'm getting my chance to look. I am, for the first time living on my own and really do enjoy it. I am getting involved in my church Elevationchurch.org check it out, it's amazing what Elevation is doing in Charlotte! I am meeting a lot of new people there and I'm greatly appreciating those who have always been in my life. I am getting to see first hand the greatness of how God works, and that He truly does everything to continually build you into a better person. I am always amazed at His work and how He can change my heart even when I'm stubbornly not wanting it to be changed... He still manages to do so and in ways that I wouldn't have expected. I never in a million years thought that I would be traveling down the rd that I am currently on. I had never gone to church my entire life (although my mum says I did when I was little... I don't remember that, I think I was carried in) I went to Elevation Sept 7th 2008 and was extremely welcomed by everybody there, which made me feel very comfortable as at that time I was dead nervous to be walking on unfamiliar ground. I accepted Christ that day, and from that point on I could not get enough! I volunteer and love to spend my time at Elevation, being around people filled with Christ is amazingly satisfying and uplifting.
During this journey I am learning things about myself and other people which gives me a completely different perspective on things. I am continually working on my inner self with small projects at a time. I used to think people couldn't change, boy was I wrong. God has worked in my life so much over the past 7 months that I notice a tremendous change in myself, I can't wait to see where He will lead me over the next year.
