My name is Jonathan, and I am currently a 2nd-year college student. I am a student at CCSF transferring this upcoming fall to Cal Poly SLO, and I enjoy doing outdoor activities that allow me to escape my house while getting much-needed sunlight.
I knew about Jesus from my parents at a young age, which is a true blessing to me as I was able to experience Jesus at an earlier stage of life. I go to church weekly with my parents and have been going before I could even walk or talk!
I had many doubts and questions regarding God and the salvation of Jesus since no one in this world alive has ever seen God or Jesus dying and resurrecting for us. It is tough to be firm in your stance on something that isn’t really provable physically or visually, which was a significant negative factor that made me lose strength in my faith. I also questioned the validation of God’s work and how it didn’t make sense from a worldly standpoint. However, through reading God’s word, praying, and discussing faith with brothers and sisters, I was able to slowly rebound and make a positive turning point in improving my faith and belief in Jesus!
Initially, I went to church just because it was just something I did on a regular weekly basis. However, over time I began to realize the importance of fellowship and church, and my mindset changed. I needed church and fellowship to grow and share my faith with other brothers and sisters, which made me enjoy and cherish church and, as a result, motivated me to continue going. While I continue to have doubts and discouragements throughout my journey as a Christian, I continue to put my faith in Jesus. I believe He is in control and knows the best for me regardless of if His plans may be the way that might not be in my favor.
我叫Jonathan，是一名大二學生。我是 CCSF 的一名學生，即將在今年秋季轉學到 Cal Poly SLO。我喜歡戶外活動。這些活動讓我可以在離開家門的同時也能吸取身體需要的陽光。
我很小的時候就從父母那裡認識了耶穌。這對我來說是一種真正的祝福，因為我能夠在年幼的日子就經歷耶穌。我每週都和父母一起去教會，在我還不會走路或說話之前就已經開始了！
我對神和耶穌的救贖有很多疑惑和不解。因為這個世界上活著的人沒有一個看見過神或耶穌為我們死和復活。很難在物理或視覺上無法真正證明的事情上堅定立場，這是一個重要的負面因素，使我失去了信仰的力量。我也質疑神工作的有效性，因為從世俗的角度來看是很難理解和相信。但是，透過讀神的話、禱告、和弟兄姊妹討論信仰，我慢慢回暖，在提高信耶穌的信心上有了積極的轉折！
最初，我去教會只是因為那是我每周定期做的事情。然而，隨著時間的過去，我開始意識到團契和教會的重要性。我的心態也發生了變化。我需要教會和團契來助我成長並與其他弟兄姊妹分享我的信仰，這讓我享受並珍惜教會，並因此激勵我繼續前進。在我作為基督徒的整個旅程中，雖然我還是會有懷疑和沮喪的時候，但我繼續相信耶穌。無論我是否會喜歡祂給我的安排，但我相信祂掌管一切，也知道祂會給我最好的。
