My family taught me about Jesus at a young age, so I always knew I wanted to have a close relationship with him. Knowing that God is going to have my back no matter what was the best feeling to me.

I was baptized at a very young age, not even knowing what that symbolized in my life. Growing up I was ushered to and from Church and Sunday school, Catechism, and First Communion classes. I was an Angel in our churches’ yearly Christmas play and once even played the virgin Mary. I was taught of the Ten Commandments and ‘reminded’ at every opportunity to follow them, and for 13 years of my life, I did just that. I stood on my pedestal of devout Christianity and looked down upon anyone not as worthy as my religion said I was. Being raised in a strict religious household, caused me to be an obstinate and contemptuous person growing up. Rules were set for my life that God had wanted all good Christians to follow, and I being told thats who I was supposed to be, followed them without question. I guffawed and shunned any possibility that I was expelling good people from my life based on the crap that I was taught to believe, and did for a very long time. I was essentially bullying people in the name of Christianity.
