I've prayed that I wouldn't become bitter, that I wouldn't remain angry, that I would just give all of it to God and let Him handle it. There have been moments where I felt myself going that way, and I have people around me who will help me.

I hope that I'm able to help people when they're going through things, even if it's just to listen.

You need a relationship with Jesus, and I had never heard that before. So when my mom told me about that, I said, "Okay, let me try this." And so I did.

Immerse yourself in the Word of God and what He has to say and get your eyes and your emotions, as hard as that might be, get them off the situation and turn to Him.

I came into an environment that was already grounded spiritually, so that helped me a lot.

Pray that I would keep my focus on the Lord, no matter what.

Not everything in my life has been pretty.
