Is what I have real?

Is this real? Is my relationship with Jesus truly there? Why are people giving up on God?  If they gave up, should I? These were questions and concerns I have been asking myself recently, due to people in my christian realm falling in sin or just simply going a different route in life that completely defies their walk(relationship) with Jesus. It caused me to question if my relationship was real. If there really is a point to it all?  It started to ware on me.

First Post: Family

Life can become quite crazy sometimes in a family of twelve, but it has never been so exciting and fun to have such close friends within my own family.  I'm sure it also has to do something with the fact I was Home Schooled(guilty grin).  Either way, I am thankful for the relationships I have with each one. Here is a recent photo of us, and of course there is always that one person to goof off.         Have a Blessed Day!  In Christ, Mackenzie Lea Knouf
