But as a teenager, I started to rebel against rules to be like my friends. I thought I was happy and enjoying life, but sometimes I felt I was lost and empty because I was far from God. The turning point in my life came when I was pregnant with my daughter. I wanted her to believe and to follow God. I wanted to be a good mother, and I wanted to be faithful to the Messiah. I prayed and told God I was sorry for all the wrong things I was doing. I told him I was sorry for my selfishness, my jealousy, and my anger. I told him that I wanted to change and become a better person. I thanked the Messiah for dying on the cross to pay the price for my sins. I began to tell others that I was a follower of the Messiah. I promised to follow him faithfully. After that prayer, I changed, and my life changed. I became more loving and kinder to others. I felt peace inside me. I knew that God was close to me, and I was able to talk to him in my prayers. I began reading the Scriptures and understanding how to live a life pleasing to God. Life has been hard at times, but through the challenges, I know that the Messiah is with me. He is my comforter when I cry. He loves me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8185e3f\" data-id=\"8185e3f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbed99e elementor-widget elementor-widget-wp-widget-media_audio\" data-id=\"fbed99e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wp-widget-media_audio.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1084-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/rebellion-lynn-arabic.mp3?_=1\" \/><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/rebellion-lynn-arabic.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/rebellion-lynn-arabic.mp3\">https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/rebellion-lynn-arabic.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c45f7aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c45f7aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/timur-romanov-M6kCYZwi07Q-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-673\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/timur-romanov-M6kCYZwi07Q-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/timur-romanov-M6kCYZwi07Q-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/timur-romanov-M6kCYZwi07Q-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/timur-romanov-M6kCYZwi07Q-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/timur-romanov-M6kCYZwi07Q-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/moktashef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/timur-romanov-M6kCYZwi07Q-unsplash-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Rebellion to Belovedby Virginia I grew up in a Christian home and believed in the Messiah, was baptized, and followed his teachings.
