The biggest problem in my life has been my faith. Faith has been something that has always been weird to me. My faith journey really started when I was a freshman in high school. In middle school, my parents were always pestering me about committing my life to God. When I got to highs school, they really let me be in charge of my faith. When I was younger, my faith was based on what my parents believed. I would always say what my parents would say. As I got older, I made sure I explored my faith. This journey took three years to my senior year. Starting my senior year, I was only interested in football. Football constantly flooded my thoughts. I was not reading my Bible. Instead, I would constantly watch film for our next opponent. During …show more content…

This was a really big blow to me. I was angry with God what happened. I felt like he had taken away the most important thing in my life. However, this was a blessing in disguise. Being hurt really gave me a lot of time in my day to read the Word and spend time with God. My faith got really strong during this period of time. I would go to Physical Therapy every day. While I would wait to go, I would be either in the locker room or at home spending time in the word. I chose to get baptized in February. I was on a spiritual high for such a long time. Going into college, my faith was as strong as it has ever been.
My faith has really weakened while I have been in college. There is so much happening in the dorm that I just forget about my Bible.

This has really been a hard transition for me. These past couple of months have been really hard for me. Sometimes, I will skip out on church because I stay up with my friends on Saturday night. Some Sundays I will just sleep in and bank on going …show more content…

I was thinking about getting a group of my friends together and making a bible study group. Otter Creek has something called covenant groups. Covenant groups are made up of the group or guys or girls in your grade. The covenant groups met every other Sunday night. Two or three leaders led the covenant groups. These leaders would choose a subject to talk about and discuss. We would start by fellowshipping while eating a meal. The fellowshipping usually lasted about thirty minutes. We would then start diving into scripture. The group would dissect the scripture and talk about what it meant to us personally. I really hope to get some close friends of mine together. Hopefully, we could start our own covenant group here in High Rise. I also hope to talk to one of my leaders who led covenant group. I am hoping that I can really get back to diving into the word with him. The leader I am talking about is Kell Holland. Kell has always been someone that I could talk to about anything. He is a person that really helped me during my faith walk while I was in high school. Now that I am in college, our schedules are so much different. I have not gotten the chance to see him very much. Now that the holidays are coming, I hope that I will reach out to him. I know that he will definitely want to help me and my struggles. Lastly, I know that my parents are always people I can talk to about this. My parents are people that are deeply
