New Follower Alert.

   I'm a believer. Its been a long time coming. I don't think anyone would have known that I would make this big transition during my first year of college or ever. But I am a new follower of Christ. I really don't know what made me decide to buy a Bible and read it or to start becoming religious but it just happened. Bad experience after another, I needed a change and the only thing I knew that would help me get my life back together was following Christ. My mom turned to Christ when she hit rock bottom and while it would be extreme to say I hit rock bottom but I was at a dead-end I felt like.

 The first semester of college was rocky in the beginning I was over-partying and engaging in "party festivities (lol)."I was also slowly realizing that my so-called friends weren't really there for me and didn't see me as a friend but more so as someone to party with. My energy was more negative than positive in terms of my day to day thoughts. I needed a change.

     I was in class one day and the teacher was discussing how when it comes to being a business student and preparing for job interviews you should be able to answer the simple question: Who are you? And while he meant it in the professional sense, that question stayed with me because I couldn't answer it personally or professionally. I realized that I didn't know who I was and what I truly stood for. How could I describe who I am as a person when my beliefs and values strayed so much depending on my company. This is why I started taking a step back and being by myself and emerging myself in Christianity in terms of reading the Bible, interpreting and communicating what it means to be a Christian with friends, trying to find out what my values and beliefs are, and listening to more gospel music. Fun fact, I don't know if this is just like a newbie thing but have you realized you cannot be angry or upset listening to gospel music, it's just more positive energy that you need in your life.

      I had to go through my own struggles and challenges to realize that I want to become the best person I can be an that I want to be the same person that I am by myself around anyone that meets me. Right now I need guidance and that is what the Lord is offering me, guidance. I think that he has been whispering in my ear constantly since I started college to get on track and I was ignoring him and now I know that I want to listen to what he is saying and allow him to guide me.

      Being able to find myself and what my values and beliefs are has helped me to manifest positive energy and opportunities I believe. I start my day off with my gospel playlist which instantly sets me in a good mood, and I have been starting to write down the positives of each week especially when I get in bad moments during a day (careful not to say having a bad day) I reflect on what I wrote down to see all that I have to be grateful for. I feel as though my prayers are getting answered at their own pace and I feel good. I feel good believing in Christ and being one of his many followers because the community here is amazing and I love discussing the Bible and what it means to be a Christian. While I don't like the judgment of some to newbies joining the religion (my opinion), I do like conversating with people who know more than myself and know the books to read in the Bible and their interpretations.
