What We Want You to Know
Students. Faith + Swagger. We're just a group of students trying to figure it all out.
My name is Jonathan Revoir, I am 13 years old and this is my faith.
I was born in April of 2003, 2 years later I was diagnosed with a mild case of scoliosis. They didn’t do much, I was in a cast 24/7 because we thought it would fix my back. It didn’t. It kept getting worse and worse and at the age of 6 I was having surgeries every 6 months until I was 10. Because of my back, my stomach was small, I couldn’t eat much. I was 60-65 lbs. at the age of 10. In August of 2014 my doctor decided to do a halo traction to try to straighten me out. To do this I would be in the hospital for 2 months. So in September I started the journey of my life. During that time it was tough. The thing that gave me hope in the hospital was my faith in Christ, because He can do miracles and He was doing one in my life. The end of that journey couldn’t come sooner. I got out 6 days before Christmas! Before I went to the hospital my spine had a 120 degree turn, after I left it was at 60. God can do miracles! I still have scoliosis and it still effects my life but I have God to help me out! My name is Johnathan Revoir I am 13 years old and this is my faith.

To me Jesus was a man. Not an ordinary man, He was perfect in every way, that is a crazy thing to say but its true. Jesus was a miracle worker. He healed lots of different cases of illness. Some people could not even walk. Jesus was a leader to the lost people who needed someone to turn to. The people that followed Jesus trusted him, they gave everything up and followed Jesus. The main followers of Jesus were called disciples. The disciples were not rich or anything of that much significance. Most of them were fisher men. Just normal sinful people, people that hurt and feel alone just like us. Jesus is a great person to tell your problems to. When you are sad He will be there for you. Life would not exist if He was not real. Everything is originally made by God. My life would not be the same without Him. I would be in a hole of depression. I would have cuts all over my arms there is no way of knowing what would have happened to me if I didn't have God in my heart. The time I really enjoyed God was when I went to the Forward Conference in Georgia. It was the first time I was able to be me because I don't like attention and I don't really talk but when I went I got to get to know myself. I never found myself until then because all we did was worship we heard some amazing songs and heard some incredible sermons.
If I had never went I think I would still be where I was 3 months ago. I was depressed really bad but now that I went I haven’t struggled with depression a lot, I really felt the burdens being lifted off my shoulders. I felt happy, relieved, and I loved every moment of it. It made me open my eyes and say hey I need to drop everything I do and work on my relationship with God because I really need Him. That burden he lifted was just amazing if he hadn’t done it I would still be lost because I needed help when he did it. All I did was just cry, because it was an amazing experience especially with the song that was playing, now all I do is hum it because I love the lyrics. They go, “I am no longer slave to fear I am a child of God.” I love that song so much I just thank God that I was able to go. I really needed that, I really needed to find myself and he let me. Every time I think back to my old ways I think wow, why did I do that stuff but now I know why I use to ask myself how does he still love me if I turned my back on our relationship and did bad stuff. The reason why is because he loves me no matter what he will always be there waiting for me because he is God, the all mighty king and our father. It just amazes me to see how much he has done for me and I just don't care. But now that my eyes are open I really do care and I appreciate everything he has done for me. I can't wait until I get to heaven because I just want to give Him a big hug and tell him thank you and I love you, because you have done so much for me and I have done so little for you. I just can't wait for that day because God has changed my life and has changed my ways. I see things differently now because of him. I just wanted to tell you how I have enjoyed the Lord. He is amazing and a life changer. |
