My Nonprofit Reviews

I was blessed with a God loving, church going, Sunday School teaching, every activity attending family. I have always known Jesus, I've always known he saved me, and I've always been active in my church. And that was fine! I didn't even realize I was doing it wrong! I went to all the Youth Conferences, I raised my hands at paise and worship, I loved Jesus! But I know now, I didn't love him like I was supposed to, like He loves me. I went in and out of really bad, gross, stupid, dangerous, disastrous, heart ruining relationships and didn't get why I didn't feel complete! I ALWAYS had a boyfriend... I was never alone, but always alone. I found myself feeling really depressed at a really young age, and didn't understand... I LOVED Jesus! My T-Shirt even said it! I have known Mary Vigil for many years (lucky me!) and she has always loved on me, encouraged me, lead me, and prayed for me. When she took our bible study and turned it into this beautiful ministry, I knew I wanted to be in. I LOVED Jesus, remember! I went to all the meetings, and kind of found myself... Angry? These girls I was meeting were incredible, beautiful, radical girls... And many of them didn't know this Jesus, and didn't want to be there actually, but I could see Jesus in them... I could see him saving them... Why wasn't he saving me?! I cried, I read, I journaled, I prayed... I'm kind of emotional/dramatic by nature... And finally Mary and the girls repeated at several Tuesday night dinners a verse that I had heard a million times, but neglected to hear- God is within her, she will NOT fall. Psalm 46:5 I was searching for Jesus... He was IN me!! The girls continued to show me how God was helping them, leading them, loving them, and I began to feel that warmth and voice. He had always been there, but I could feel Him now. I thought I loved Jesus before, my heart is exploding now! Girls Only Ministry saved me, saved this Christian girl who had no idea she even needed saving.
