Melanie Rogers   Campus Staff, University of Louisiana Lafayette

I grew up believing that as long as I was a good person that I was right with God. Entering college I was the typical wild child party girl, who was all about having fun and being the perfect student—for I based my significance on popularity and academic performance.

In my sophomore year I met someone who challenged me to think about what I believed and why I believed what I did. It was through looking into God’s Word that I realized a relationship with God comes only through making a decision to surrender control of my life to God, committing to live for Him and no longer for myself. I made that decision one night in my dorm room with a friend, and since then God has proven to be faithful to change my heart and grow me in my relationship with Him.
