About two and a half years ago God saved my life; I was lost spiritually, I was down-and-out financially, and the pressure of being a college student was certainly getting to me. I once had a friend who told me, “In life you are either in a storm, leaving a storm or on your way to a storm”; I was in the midst of my storm. Towards the latter part of August 2015 I was experiencing difficulty in life that I’m sure you all could relate to, it seemed nothing was working in my favor. Looking back on that time of my life, it’s easy to connect the dots, but if you had asked me during that time, I wouldn’t want to admit it; however, I knew I didn't have the best relationship with God.
