Lonely and Incomplete

   Three years ago, I felt as if I were lost and didn’t know what kind of person I was, I was incomplete. I was going through a lot of things. I almost lost my mother and sister to a car wreck, found out my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer, and that I had to move back to where I was born, Arkansas to take care of my now departed grandfather. I felt like I was ripped to the only place I had known, my home, for which most of my life was. With these hardships I had to deal with, they eventually affected me.

   It was then I started feeling loneliness and depression. I felt as though something were missing. I met this person at a party and we got together and became friends. They invited me to go to their church with them and after that, I began going regularly. The church took me along with them to this summer camp and that’s when my life changed. I finally found what was missing! I needed something to quench my spiritual needs. I found God. I believe that without God you aren’t complete, as if something is physically and mentally missing from an apart of you. It was then I realized that every time I dove into the Word of God and worshipped, I was feeling whole. I needed the guidance and love from something that I learned would always love me no matter what. I was lost and then I was found.

   See, without God I was lost, empty, and incomplete. But, after I found him I regained this inner peace. I felt good about myself; I was a whole new person. I believe that with the love from God you will not only feel complete but also feel loved by something so great and strong. We all endure things that make us lose ourselves and we have to search for what that is. I searched and looked and don't find anything until one day it felt as if I were being hit on the head. Open your eyes and heart and then eventually you find yourself, spiritually, mentally, and physically.

      In conclusion, God is what helped me find who I am and not lost but found!
