Hi, My name is Miss Epic. My life has had a lot of humbling moments that have strengthened my relationship with God a lot. From birth, ive had a birthmark on my nose that goes right below my eyebrow line to the tip of my nose. It has been the center of most of my insecurities, but also the thing that has almost help me. From an early age, very young, like, in kindergarten and third grade, I was mocked cause of it. School was very hard for me, I had problems with teachers and they were not nice about it, everyday at the end of the day I'd book it back to the car with a giant smile on my face, but when I got in the car and my mom asked me how my day was, I'd start crying my eyes out. It broke her heart everyday, but we both wanted to see if it get better. I didn't have a lot of friends and frankly, how have of them eventually acted, I didn't want any... when I hit like...third grade, we had a kid that was raised in an atheist home. I was praying before one of my tests, I knew God would help me and I sucked at math, so I NEEDED HIM TO HELP ME XD. But as I was praying, I guess the kid noticed and I was almost suspended for it. My mom fought hard, neither one of us understood why they could force their beliefs on us, and we could just pray silently to ourselves, even the principle didn't understand. Finally though, that was the final straw for my mom and she ripped me out of public school and started homeschooling me like I was begging her to do years earlier. From that point on, my strength in God and myself was brought higher. When I was 13, I had asked for forgiveness fully and truly to God, and there was an amazing thing that happened, at least in my eyes. When I was crying my eyes out to God, I had turned on the radio and the song that was playing was Relient K's Forgiven, I felt like it was his gift to me and it still makes me feel so special when I hear it XD i'm 17 now, and my life is amazing, I still have my birthmark, even though many times I have had a supportive family to help me find a way to get rid of it, I dont want to now. Instead I choose to take it and have it as my testimony. I still receive comments about it occasionally, but I try to respond with kindness, God has done so much for me and my life to make it so great, why would I let something as little as a comment of whats on my nose bring me down. I love God with all of my heart and above all else. And I know that He feels the same for me. I am forever grateful to Him and have given my everything to serve Him. Thank you for stickin' through, and reading this XP. God bless you all.
