I look back almost 11 years ago and remember when I first came to CCC Atlanta with my family. It was originally one of those things you do as a family (go to church); but as I grew older and more rebellious, the only thing that kept me there was the simple fact that I felt accepted and loved for who I was, not rebuked and looked down on because I was different. That is, I believe, what teenagers need most is acceptance and love. I know without it, I'd have never found my place in God. Thanks Dean and Jill. So true.
