My faith over these past few months has grown tremendously. I started a bible club at my high school and currently serve as president of the club. This club has allowed me to help others grow in their faith and has given me the ability to guide people on the right path. This club has not only helped others but has definitely helped me grow in my faith and shape myself into who God wants me to be. It has allowed me to see the plan that God has for my life rather than the path I wanted to take. I have also recently been chosen as the youth leader at my church, which has allowed me to grow even stronger in my faith and teaching skills. I am beyond grateful that God has put me in this position, and I have grown very fond of becoming a youth pastor. As I pursue this new journey in my life, I plan to put God first in everything I do and in every problem I go through. Instead of trying to balance my spiritual walk, I am going to use it to get through struggles on this new journey. Trusting and relying on God will get me through anything, and it has helped me so much throughout school, athletics, and whatever life throws at me. As I go on into the next level of baseball at Ottawa University, I will especially prioritize God and put Him first in everything. This new journey of athletics can be tough, but I know that everything is possible with God, and relying on Him will get me through the challenges that come my way. I feel that this school was perfectly placed in my path from God, as I will also be able to go into Biblical/Ministry studies to pursue my career as a youth leader and pastor. Wherever God takes me on this new journey, I hope to keep spreading the gospel and give people the best guidance they could ever receive in their lives. Even though I plan to play baseball in college, I know I have to fulfill God's purpose, which is finding the lost sheep and bringing them to God so that he can get them through their new journey as well. I hope to keep inspiring those around me and reflect the light of Christ to others at my new school and home.
