A light into my darkest hour

Right after high school, I went off to South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD, for one of the worst and best few months of my life.

While I was there I tried to distance myself from God in any way I could, even to thinking of myself as an atheist.

But as a kid who’d grown up in the church, I made the nearly hour drive most Sunday mornings to be in the nearest Nazarene Church.

While I was going through some of the darkest and lowest times in my life, Pastor Keith Bundy and his family, shined a light so that I could see.

I don’t know if they had any idea what they did for me in those few months, but they literally saved my life.

Keith’s sermons showed me God in church, and he and his family showed me God outside of church by inviting me into their home.

I can never truly thank them enough for the gift that they gave me in those few months, but I don’t know if I’d be here without them having been in my life.
