I’m currently 1,5 but my life has had many ups and downs, 3 years ago, I struggled with my mental health, and I felt like I had no one to turn to.

I started self-harming and tried taking my life on my 14th birthday. It didn’t work, and the moment I tried, my best friend sent me a message saying how much she loves me. I still struggled last year with self-harm and self-hatred, and I went looking for comfort in men instead of God. I met a boy who drained me and made me question everything I lived for.

I got an eating disorder and could not eat anything; I relied on gum and would feel disgusted if I looked at myself in the mirror. I broke up with him, and still, after he made me question everything. I never had friends to talk to about it. I always felt like a burden to them, for my friend wasn’t really someone you would tell something to. She made it feel like a joke, but I had to be there for her, so I kept it to myself until I cracked.

On 23rd October, my dad and I drove back from a netball match, and we were worshipping God with music, and that’s when my life changed. He made an impact on my life. On the 2nd November, I got the amazing opportunity to be baptised by my father, and since then, my life has never been the same.

From then on, there have been a few times I fell off track and questioned my life but I know God will help me to go back to him, and that he will never abandon me. He left the 99 sheep to look for the 1 missing sheep, so he will always find you and help you get back, for he is always waiting. ❤️

What I learned is God always has a plan for your life ❤️
