When I was a senior in high school, I was invited by one of my teachers to have a conversation
with God, and I experienced His personal love for me; this was a turning point in my relationship with Him. I desired to cultivate a daily prayer life afterwards, and I met a friend, a FOCUS missionary, in college who desired that for me. She encouraged me to spend at least twenty to thirty minutes each day with Jesus, sitting in His Presence in the St. Mary’s Chapel at Central Michigan University. Sitting in His Presence, Jesus used this time to heal me, love me, reveal who He had created me to be, and transform me more and more into His likeness. I craved more and more time with Him as I realized that all of what I desired in this life (and beyond) was found in Him. Today, seven years later, He continually gazes upon me during daily Holy Hours. Living in Marinette, I am so grateful that I can physically be with Jesus each day at the God the Father Adoration Chapel. - Allie
