I don’t remember a time when I didn’t follow Jesus. I’ve always spent time praying and talking to God. When I was 3 years old, I remember eating macaroni and cheese and thinking that I wanted to be closer to God. I decided to ask God into my life. Sometimes it is hard to follow Jesus, like when I get into trouble, or throw a fit. In those moments, I sometimes felt like God couldn’t forgive me. But now I know that He does. God is also helping me get over my fear of speaking or being embarrassed when I do. I want to be baptized so that I can be closer with Jesus, and so I can be a witness for God wherever I go. This is my next step of faith.
