Nikki’s Story
Things were going well in my life. I had a caring husband and two healthy children. Who can ask for more than that?
But I started to become anxious about everything. I hated being in large crowds of people. I wouldn’t fly places with my husband. I constantly expected bad things to happen to my family. My mind filled itself with worst-case scenarios. The constant worry, anxiety and self-doubt was more than I could handle.
I was raised in a Christian home and had always known about Jesus Christ. I knew He was looking for me and wanted me to turn to him, but I didn’t want to. I ran. I ran away from the truth as fast as I could. I don’t know why – maybe I thought I was doing a good job at being my own savior. I wasn’t. I completely lost myself.
My neighbors invited me to attend church with them every week. Finally, after months of asking, I went. I was hooked right away. For the first time in a long, long time, I felt complete again. I knew that Compassion Christian Church was where I needed to be.
Two months later, I gave my life to Jesus and was baptized.
Now I feel completely whole again. Sure, life is still life, but now I have an awfully big Father in my corner. I have new eyes that see things differently and a new heart that is full of love, compassion and faith. Now, who can ask for more than that?!
