My mother and father separated when I was two and a half years old. I would go visit my father every month, and when I was younger, this was really fun. But when I got older, we had a couple of disagreements and things got worse and worse.

I remember crying to my mother that I did not want to visit my father anymore. She said, “Pray, and everything will be better.” And I did.

God helped me and my father. Now we have a better relationship. We talk, and he calls me when he goes to his home country, Macedonia, so I can talk with my family there.

Jesus Christ has always been my strength. When I had big challenges at school or home, He was always there for me. I always felt that He had my back.

I’m grateful that my mother introduced me to the Church and to God, because it’s really helped us a lot throughout the years. God and Jesus Christ are always looking out for us.
