I have often felt alone. Being one of two Christians that attend the Church of Christ in my Highschool, I feel alone. When I am outnumbered by non believers, I feel alone. But, I have realized that I'm not truly alone. God is with me each and every day (Hebrews13:5), even when I fail Him. My parents are there for me and I have gained some wonderful friends at Tomorrow's Church, Today.
The purpose of this blog is to remind you weekly that you aren't alone. We have to continue stepping in the Light. Be strong and don't give up. If you give up, you forfeit the ultimate prize, Heaven (Hebrews12:1-2). When you feel alone and that God has left you, remember that He really hasn't left you and pray to Him for comfort and strength to continue. "...The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" James5:16. I hope to inspire and encourage you to keep striving to become more like Jesus. If you feel alone, remember that I will be there for you, your church family will be there for you, and more importantly, God will be there for you. By: Jennifer Odom

I was scrolling through my Facebook and came upon your story when my daughter came in and asked me to read the story to her. I sat her on my lap as I read the blog and changed a few words around so that her four-year-old mind could understand. It sparked a beautiful conversation between us about God, His love, loneliness, how the fish at Walmart are probably lonely at night (she is four!). I'm so glad that the world has young women like you for little girls to look up to. You are an inspiration and a true blessing in my life. Thank you.
