For the ones who don’t know my name is Andy.

I was born into a Christian family. We went to church every Sunday no matter what! I accepted Jesus into my heart and had him take permanent residency in my life when I was 13. I knew at a very young age that I needed Jesus like I needed oxygen; I couldn’t survive without him.

In high school I was given the opportunity to preach a few Sundays in Church. I had classmates and teammates come to listen to my sermons. Taking the time to study the Bible brought me closer to Jesus and I felt wonderful being able to share the love I have for him and he has for me with everyone. After that first sermon I got many questions about what Jesus says in certian situations and I would pull out my Bible and find the answer.

During my senior year my faith was challenged when my favorite teacher how was like a second mother to me was walking with her sister and collapsed. The nerve between her brain and her heart failed and she was instantly brain dead. I went to see her twice a day until she died a year and a half later. When I would visit her eyes followed me where ever I went.  The day before they took out her feeding tube I said my goodbyes knowing I wouldn’t see her anymore in her physical body. That broke my heart, but I knew Jesus would take care of her.
