When I was lost I had an emptiness inside of me. I tried to
fill it with drugs, alcohol, boys and many other thing, but everything I tried
made it worse. Many people told me "only Jesus can fell that emptiness" I told
them that they were crazy, there is no God.
One night as I was crying I asked myself "why doesn't
anybody care about me?" "why does every one reject me?" When all of a sudden I
heard some one say "that is not true I care about you and I will never reject
you." I looked up and saw no one, so I asked who said that, is any one there.
For a moment I thought I was going crazy, I was so confused. I did not know if
to believe what I had heard, so I went to a church I had seen before, as I got
there was a lady standing there and she approached me and said "I have been
waiting for you. I asked "how did you know that I was coming?" She replied
saying "Jesus sent me here to wait for a young girl that needed my help."
I told her what happened to me and that I did not
understand what was happening. She explained why it was happening, I decided
to except Jesus into my life, as I prayed, I cried out to him as I did the
emptiness I had one felt began to disappear and I began to feel love and joy
enter my life.By, Christina Montoya
