   For me I think God started working on my heart at a young age, however, I wanted nothing to do with that call. Through most of my teenage years, I didn’t even want a relationship with God yet alone to tell others about him. I was mad at God in since for things that I had gone through. My last couple years of high school God began to seek me out, I had quit seeking Him almost completely and that is when He came and got me. I found a church that for the first time in a long time I felt comfortable going to again, and I just realized how selfish I had been, and how no matter how far I gotten away from God, He still wanted me.
  I wanted to be a Doctor for most of my life because I felt that I COULD HELP PEOPLE. I focused so much on (me) trying to help people with their physical needs instead of their spiritual. It was then that I realized I was capable of absolutely nothing, that God was the only one who could do anything, and He is just that awesome that He wanted to use me.
  I was taking a college English course in which we were working on a series of papers. My first paper was on world hunger, my second was the water crisis, and the third was on homeless men and women living in Wheeling West Virginia. When, my professor gave us the assignment for our fourth and final paper, I was at a complete loss for words. “What is the Cause of All the Problems in Your Previous Papers.” I was so confused at first, and I tried googling answers, and then God opened my eyes. The cause of all these problems, is that so many people do not know Him, and the ones who do know him are not living out there faith. God showed me that HE is the giver of life and the cause of all joy and love in the world. That no real love can truly be experienced until they experienced the love of God.
  My professor told me later that she knew that I was going to conclude my paper series in that manner. I know God put Mrs. Farnsworth in my life for that reason. I believe that my call for the first time in my life became so real, and I wanted nothing else but to answer that call. I put all of my wants and my desires aside and told God to take my life and do what He wants. It still blows my mind sometimes, all God makes Himself so present in our everyday lives, and this was a perfect example of that for me.
