God was always some distant, impersonal, alien-like being to me, so I couldn’t grasp the whole "Heavenly Father" thing. Even after I accepted Christ, I couldn't fully understand His love. Why me? What made me so special? I was skeptical and thought that he had to love me but didn't actually care about me. It wasn't until I heard that, in Christ, we are adopted children of God and are made heirs (Gal. 4:7) that I began to comprehend His love. I'm adopted, which can be confusing at times. I've often questioned my identity and struggled with why I was given up, but one thing I've never doubted was my adopted mom's love for me. Sometimes, adoption is viewed as being unwanted or abandoned, but I see it as someone loved me and chose me to be their child. I am every bit my mom's daughter as if I were blood. In the same way, I'm every bit as much a daughter of God. We are not abandoned. We have a God who loves us so much that he wants to adopt us as His children. Although I'm still learning the magnitude of what that means - and sometimes still have questions - I am sure of God's immense, personal love for me. - Jenny #PorchStories #LifeChangeHappensHere #ThePorch

Matthew 1:21 "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” #MerryChristmas

I was a hypocrite. I believed that Jesus was my Savior but nothing in my life said He was Lord. Saturdays were wasted recovering from the night before, chugging waters to get my head right to worship God on Sunday. I remember standing at parties knowing that life wasn’t found there but not having the courage to make a change. I had the worst of both worlds riddled with guilt from my struggle with pornography, alcohol abuse, and inappropriate relationships. I wore the mask of a Christian but felt like a fraud. I was ignorant that Jesus wasn’t anti-sex but is instead pro-marriage. He isn’t against joy but knows the ultimate source. He isn’t anti-gifts, but the Giver is better. God has been faithful when I respond to the knowledge of his goodness by surrendering to His will. Ultimate freedom is found when I live according to His purpose. Life isn’t perfect. I still struggle by drifting to my past life, but as a good father, He convicts me by pointing me back to truth. Now I respond because I know Him as He is, not as religion tells me. - Kyle #PorchStories #LifeChangeHappensHere #ThePorch

Religion was just a bunch of rules to follow, so I rebelled. Against my parents. Against God. I found my worth in relationships with men and achievements at school. My idea of fun could only be found in the party scene through alcohol and drug abuse. The scars and anxiety ran deep. In grad school, I was invited to The Porch where I heard the Gospel for the first time. I finally realized that I didn't need to be "right" with God before He could love me (Romans 5:8). I still bear the scars of my past, and my anxiety didn't fade overnight, but through Christ, I am finding peace. - Julie #PorchStories #LifeChangeHappensHere #ThePorch
