Being a Christian has helped me realize that God is always with me and listening to my prayers. I know that if I ever need to talk to God, he'll be right there to listen. When my Granddad died last year and my family had trouble getting through it, we took comfort in the fact that he had passed on to a better place and God would be watching over him.

Trusting in God has helped me to see that no matter what happens, God and my family will always love me. I know that if I ever get into trouble with something, I can look to God to help me through it, and to still love me no matter what I do.

 I've realized that the people of the church are all members of the body of God and we help each other out when we need it. My faith has helped me to reach out to other people and to help those in need. Having God in my life has made me a better person and I am proud of that.
