My name is Kayla Pratt.
I felt like I was in a really dark place.
I didn't care that I was hurting myself or the people that truly cared about me.
I just did what I wanted to do and didn't really care.
I went through a series of relationships with guys that I would give my heart away to and
I would sacrifice myself and kind of change my identity to mold who I was with.
I was married at 18 and a half.
We were just not living our lives for Christ and I didn't take all that long for a lot
of problems to arise and we ended up getting a divorce and signing the papers about a year
after we'd gotten married when it all fell apart.
My world was crushed.
All I had known and all I had made my life was centered around this person who I chose
who in the end didn't choose me back.
That was definitely the darkest place for me just because of the depression I was going
through and not really knowing who I was but knowing all along where I needed to return
to which was coming back to the church and having my heart come back to Christ.
When I first was convinced to make the decision it started with a friend who continued to
pursue me and continued to invite me to all the different events that College Group offered
just Bible studies and checking up on my week and through her that was kind of when
I first saw how Christ pursued me was through the people in my life it was him reaching
out to me wanting me to come back.
I tell my junior high girls all the time you're beautiful and you're loved and you're a daughter
of the king you deserve to be treated in the way that Christ would treat you and you should
never settle for anything less.
I am a follower of Jesus because he loved me when I was unlovable.
He came for me when I hated him.
He wanted me when I didn't want him.
I'm all in because there's no one else.
Christ wanted my heart all this time and he has turned my life into something beautiful.
My name is Kayla Pratt and I'm not a fan.
