Hello there! My name is Abby, I am almost 21-years-old and I hail from California, born and raised. I go to a Baptist university in Southern California. I became a Christian about a year and a half ago and God has taught me some amazing things about His deep love for me and about His Son. It has been a rough last few months for me though, because I am seeing how my previous lifestyle as an extreme people-pleaser has had, and still has, some reprecussions on my life now. I have a really hard time "just being myself" because I have learned to gag myself in order to appease others. But Christ has been trying to teach me to be comfortable with myself and to have pride in the individual He made me to be. My prayer is that I am able to learn to do this over this summer so that I may enjoy my last year in college without constantly fretting. I plan on entering the mission field as a career after I graduate, but I have no idea what I want to do. For a person with an English degree and an open heart, does anyone have any suggestions?? God Bless!
