“Getting closer to God and truly worshiping Him and going to church for Him. I have to get closer to Him, actually, fix myself and all the problems that I’m experiencing and, it just makes me want to get closer to God. My friends, people at the church, and my family. Matilyn Neal, because she’s one of my friends at church, and she has been encouraging me to go and inviting me to a friend group, and they’ve just been so wonderful. You just have to put all your hopes in your friends and let them help you. It’s not like a journey you have to take along. Everybody needs help and if I feel, even if I don’t feel like someone around me needs it, I should still try and give them the help they need. Going to church every Wednesday and Sunday, reading my Bible, taking notes, and listening and talking to my small group at my church. My influence would mainly be my family, because my mom and dad, well, specifically my mom, have been pushing me together as well, because they started going more and they just want to help me get closer to Him.”
