Summary

SummaryI’m Najee, and back in 2012, as I graduated college, I wrote: “If my life were to end tomorrow, I wouldn’t be that sad…” 😔. I felt empty—my parents’ divorce shattered my sense of purpose, and panic attacks stole my peace. Then one Father’s Day, my mom invited me to Upper Room Church in New York. I was mesmerized by the genuine joy and hope radiating from everyone 🙌. Over the following months, I kept coming—youth group, Scripture, and finding a new family in Christ. One night, alone and broken, I heard a voice whisper, “What are you doing?”—and in that moment, God shattered my despair ✨. My desires changed: I traded club nights for community, lost contacts, and discovered that my true purpose is living for God’s kingdom ❤️.
