Imperfectness

Hi! I am a 15 year old (almost 16). I got diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when I was in 7th grade. Since then I have had so many breakdowns and freak out moments when I spiral and get into my own head and can’t get out. I have obsessive thoughts. I finally got out of counseling and after much hard work, I have been able to shut off my thoughts. And that makes me very happy. I finally feel like I have some level of control over my life and my feelings.

Trusting God and learning about Him always makes me feel better. I turn to him in hard times and pray. He hears me and comes to help me. I listen to Matthew West songs daily. Me and my twin brothers are big fans. We LOVE his songs and as someone who wears her emotions on her sleeves, I really feel everything. From his song “Imperfections” to the first Matthew West song I ever heard, which was “Truth Be Told.” At the time I was going through having obsessive thoughts and breakdowns and a lot of self doubt. His music really helped. I’m a much healthier and kinder person to myself and others all thanks to fellowship and God and Matthew’s music. And I am always gonna be thankful for music and God.

Matthew likes to call the moment he decided to follow God his " Blue Couch" moment. When you craft your story, you can share your "Blue Couch" moment or other stories where you have seen God at work in your life.
