Almost 8 months ago, The Lord met me in my room at a point in my life where I had made mistakes, walked away from him, done things I said I would never do, and was carrying so much shame and guilt.

Somewhere between February 19th and March 1st,I felt a pull on my heart to start attending Passion City Church. At the time, I didn’t understand why the Lord was leading me to a church 45 minutes away from my house, but I knew that was where He wanted me to be.

So on March 1st, after making the decision to leave my old life behind, I visited Passion City Church for the first time. I walked into the building alone, knowing absolutely nobody and having no idea what the Lord had in store for me.

My second week at Passion, I was prayed over, and as the weeks went on, I started making friends and building meaningful connections. It’s been a long road of healing and learning to trust the Lord, but through this process, I’ve gotten to know Him in a whole new way. I’ve gotten to see Him not only as my Father, but as my Friend. In Him, I’ve found my purpose, my strength, and my comfort, and I’m so thankful for the way He’s continued to meet me right where I am.

From attending on Sunday mornings to being encouraged to serve at Passion Camp 2026, then I got the opportunity to be a family group leader, and to be apart of one myself the Lord has given me so much more than I could have imagined. I can now say with full confidence that I understand why He led me to Passion back in March. I walked in knowing nobody, and now I have such a sweet community and so many people I get to call my friends.

If you aren’t familiar with the lightbulb wall at Passion, each lightbulb represents someone who has gone from death to life in Jesus.

Today wasn’t the day I went from death to life. That happened almost eight months ago when the Lord met me in my room and began changing my life. But today, I got to add my own lightbulb to the wall as a physical reminder of what He’s done in my life.

What a gift it is to see how far He’s brought me! 

From death to life. All glory to Jesus. 🤍
