I’ve found that this world does have some shiny things to offer—partying, wealth, beauty, ‘perfect relationships’, popularity, travelling, and more. Not all bad things, but some of these things I became reluctant to drop, even when I began hearing Jesus’ gentle no.

Having grown up in the church, I’ve heard many stories about ‘big moments’ where God worked incredible miracles, and people's lives were turned around. These stories are amazing! But for several years, I was waiting for God to perform an incredible miracle in my life.

It was a beautiful day on the water, and the Hector’s dolphins of Lyttleton followed us around the bay.

That was where God found me.

I always assumed that everyone was a Christian and had the same beliefs as me... until I started at a non-Christian school in Year 7. It was weird. I had friends who weren’t Christian for the first time. This new way of life had me floating slowly away from God as I tried to fit in.

Lonely. Unsupported. Ignored. Nothingness. Worried. These five words best describe what I experienced most during 2019. If I had to string them all together and choose one word to sum up my year, it would be ‘brokenness.’

I grew up with bedtime prayers. It began with my parents leading the prayers, and slowly I learned to speak to God in my own time too. As I grew older, I started to doubt whether God really answered prayer. It was easy to look at the world and feel like maybe He only answered some.
