I was adopted when I was eight years old and until that time I did not know anything about God and had only heard of Jesus Christ in a negative way. I was introduced to Jesus Christ and accepted him as my Savior and began my walk. Apart from my family and the teaching I got there, Bible Camp is the place where my walk was expounded. I had been going to camp for several years and my walk was comfortable, not growing a lot , but comfortable. Two years ago, all of that changed as God put a friend in my life that was to become my best friend. I had never had a friendship built around the Lord and it has beenso exciting
for me. Although over 200 miles seperate us, we have the phone and use it all of the time . Knowing that there is someone there who understands all that I am going through and the trials of being a Christian at a secular school with few other Christians and the struggles of working through the past is sometimes all that gets me through the day. Having a friend who will not only listen and encourage, but will also confront sin that "so easily besets" me. Having that kind of a friend has also helped me to open up to my parents and to begin sharing and praying more with them. I have been challenged to growup in the Lord and knowing that there is someone who I also can be honest with and grow with has made me realize that I am not alone in all the fears and concerns that teens go through. I have learned to love and be loved in a new way. A true friendship built around the love of the Lord is a gift from God.
