Life verse: Psalm 139:23-24 – “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

Testimony:  My life wasn’t going as I planned. I wasn’t making enough money, wasn’t being promoted fast enough, and had no real friends. I felt excluded and overlooked. I wanted to belong to something greater than myself. In my increasing loneliness, I asked Jesus to take control of my life. Once I gave Jesus control, I began to experience real peace with who I am and where I am. I learned that He accepts us as we are and is only waiting to be asked. I was once alone, but Jesus showed me that I belong.
