I wanted to take the time to tell you who Jesus is to me. He has impacted my life in such a positive way, and there is no way I would be the man I am today without my relationship with Christ. I grew up in a Catholic family, went to church every Sunday, said grace at every meal, and was taught that it was important to live a "good life" so that on judgment day, Christ would look on me with pity.

I would not say that I ever had relationship with Christ even though I went to Catholic school for just that purpose. Throughout much of grammar and some of high school I was bullied and "left out" of social gatherings and events. I felt like an outcast, unloved and unwanted.

During this time, my only focus was on myself and my body. I thought in order to be happy, I had to look a certain way, act a certain way, and be a certain way. I was none of these and I used my eating disorder, self-injurious behavior, and eventually drinking to deal with the anxiety of being alone and feeling like I was worthless. This

support he received from the bishops of Nicomedia and Ceasarea. At the time, it seemed that the truth of the Gospel was hanging in the balance.
