I was raised within a family who had a very strong relationship with God. I grew up knowing Jesus and was saved and baptized in 5th grade but I never 'felt' who he was until I was in my early high school years when I began to build a relationship with him, I began to realize that I had a friendship with Jesus and that friendship has lasted and only grew stronger and stronger since then. If I ever do have trouble with our relationship all I have to do is look back on everything I have been blessed with and everything he has given me and remember that everything is because of him.
