Hey guys! So this video was REALLY hard for me to film. I do, however, think that it is time to talk about my story and use it to help others that have experienced something similar. I also want to discuss what it is like to be part of a pastoral family as the pressure that comes from it is part of why I kept my story a secret for so long. Also, I told many people I thought were my true friends about my past. Now that I am no longer close to them, I feel like they are holding something over me- like I trusted the wrong people. It does not make sense, but to regain control of my feelings and situation, I want to say what I need to say. I want to share my story on my own terms. All this was brought on by the pure gratitude that I feel toward the Lord and how He is allowing me to graduate next semester.*** Also, I misspoke and said I was graduating with two bachelor's, but what I meant was that I double majored*** With this chapter closing, I want all the shame and guilt to be left with it. I also want to clarify that I DO NOT blame the Church. If anything, I mean this video to come across as a wake-up call to the Church. So many people are against Christianity because we have done such a bad job of exemplifying Christ whether it be through our judgment or through our inability to show our weaknesses in our walk with the Lord. We are ALL a work in progress and will never be "the perfect Christian." Rather than preying on each other's downfalls, we should be there to support each other in our walk with the Lord. This video means a lot to me, and I really hope you guys enjoy it.

    Hey guys! Throughout the years, I’ve thought a lot about this video and just wanted to ask that y’all please read what I wrote in the description. I don’t want this video to be misinterpreted. I love my Church family but wanted to address some of the issues I’ve seen/experienced. I hope this video comes across as an eye-opener to show that nobody is perfect, and we should not expect that from each other. If we were perfect, there would be no need for Jesus. Instead, we should focus on helping each other by comforting and supporting one another in each other’s walk with the Lord.❤

    I just watch your video girl. I feel you and crying 😢. I'm pastor's kid. Look dear, in the book of Hebrew4:16 says. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. And I pray that God bless you and keep you safe from harm and more, and may you have a better life than before. You look pretty my dear. Love you 😘❤ and take care of yoursel

    Im a pk. I am currently going through all of this, and I’m alone I wish my parents understood but I don’t think they will. I love God and I love serving him but I have wounds I’m tired of worrying about everyone else except for me. I have been thinking of talking to my parents and telling them that I just want to take care of myself. I’m tired of always having to put others first tired of being broken but having to act perfect. I really need help all I want is to be better:(

    There was someone who died in my church and she fell in the spirit and somehow died and the people thought I did something to her.
