Katie's prayer: Steven Curtis Chapman's "Only Natural"

There are many things people my age believe to be "natural." Some examples: having sex before marriage, going out and getting drunk every weekend, wearing revealing clothes, taking illegal drugs, getting a C in a class and being ok with it and other such destructive behaviors.

I'm not like them, in fact, I'm the opposite. The reason: Jesus and the high importance I give Him in my life. So I began to think, what would my life be like if I had never gone to lifeteen? How would my life be different if my faith wasn't quite so important? In all honesty, I would probably be exactly like all those other people my age. I wouldn't have the amazing "Jesus-friends" that I have. I would probably be at the bar every weekend. I would have gone a lot further with my first boyfriend. And I probably would have tried and maybe even been successful in committing suicide last semester, cause without Jesus, and without the friends I have because of Jesus and my faith, my life would have been hopeless. So I'm glad I'm not "natural." My life is so much better with Jesus. I'm glad that

I've got the Spirit of the living God alive in me,
Giving me power so I don't have to be
Only natural.
