Before Jesus Changed My Life

I struggled a lot with anxiety and depression growing up even though I grew up in the church and thought I “knew” Jesus. It wasn’t until after my second child was born that I just knew that I had never let Jesus into my heart and let him change me and that I would never be able to be the mom and wife that I wanted to be without Him, and that I needed to let God go from my head to my heart and truly change me.

How Jesus Changed My Life

Once I made that decision I really started to get excited about learning about God, digging into old sermons, and listening to different podcasts and the Bible. Instead of trying to be my own light and follow my own path, I really started to lean into the teachings of the Bible and realized that I don’t have to live life through my own understanding but through God’s Word, and it took a ton of pressure off me and gave me so much peace that I didn’t have to be the one “in charge”. I realized that I could just let God lead me where I was supposed to go.

My Life After Jesus Saved Me

I have so much peace and joy in my life knowing that it’s not all about me. That it truly is all about God and now I just get the pleasure of talking to Him and learning about him and getting closer to Him. I don’t have to worry about the little things in life anymore because I know that I get to spend forever with my Father, and there isn't anything more comforting than that.
