Former Christian compares her life with Christians
In a TikTok video, the young lady, @lemonhaid, noted that her father is no longer a Christian.
She recalled how she was discouraged from leaving the faith when she made it clear she wanted to do so at that time.
She expressed a strong belief that her life would have been way worse if she had remained in the faith, adding that she has surpassed people she grew up with in many aspects.
The former Christian said her Christian pals are still in the faith, hanging on to the belief that God's time is the best and that He has plans for them. In her words:
"Another thing people fail to talk about Christianity is it takes away your best years. Growing up, I was a very, very devout Christian, go to church, my mum goes to church, my dad was never a devout Christian.
"Even now, my dad is no longer a Christian. In a week, we go to church like five times. Five freaking times. Anytime I look back, I will just be like, imagine I was still there, when I wanted to leave, they were like, don't leave, God said this, God said that, God said your future is here.
"Imagine I stayed back, the way my life is now, I am two million per cent certain my life will not be the way it is now. Imagine I stayed back in that area I grew up in, and I was a Christian and everything.
"I am very, very certain because people I grew up with, not like I am bragging or anything, I have surpassed them in so many things. I have been in places, I have had different opportunities, I have explored life, you get, and they are still there because they believe that God's time is the best, God has a plan for them."
