As a very young child, I loved Jesus. It has been my desire to follow him all my life. I made mistakes, but He was always ready to forgive me. When I was 18 God asked me to be willing to give up a very close friend because he was not a Christ-follower. That was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but after much prayer and soul searching, I committed to follow Jesus completely and have never looked back. He has walked with me through trials and challenges and has always been the One I leaned on through illness and discouragement. It is my desire to be an example to my family so that they will also want to follow Jesus their whole lives. -J
