CARP USA: CARP has changed my life
2021-11-28 · Source: tparents.org
This Thanksgiving, we’d like to highlight some of our amazing students and leaders. Meet Michelle, CARP Dallas leader and Education major attending Dallas College North Lake Campus.
Before CARP, she struggled to get along with her family and felt like she was wasting God’s time. CARP and its Principles changed everything.
“I went to almost all the events and meetings for no particular reason other than I just knew I had to be there, and I was drawn by the love I received while being there…I knew that God had placed me here for a reason; my life completely changed once I attended the five day Divine Principle workshop. I tested its teachings and principles by applying it to my family. My family changed in amazing ways in only a few short months.”

M name i Michelle eia. I am a ophomore ducation Major attending torie Dalla College North Lake Campu and am a leader in the Dalla CARP chapter. TUDNT ven though I a raied in a “Chritian” TORI houehold, I, and m famil, ere far from the ideal famil. While the ord, “A for me and m houe, e ill erve the lord” ere planted right aove our doora, I ALUMNI TORI felt e ere putting on a façade a a perfect famil, hich ended ith m parent’ divorce.
All of a udden, numerou prolem Archive egan to arie. ven though deep don I loved m famil, I did not ant to love Month them. I anted to give in to hate, complaint, irritation, and judgement; and I almot did. I reached a point here I a going to completel give in, and, et, omeho, there a ala a feeling tugging at m pirit, entering m mind and hivering don m pine. I can onl conclude that it a Year in God ala at m ide. Therefore, no matter ho dark it got, I could never den that God a there, and I had a never-changing faith that He ould ta there. ut, Revie imultaneoul, I could onl urmie that I a not good enough for Him, that He a ating hi time eing next to omeone like me, and I ignored him, never anting to face God. I a overcome ith deep guilt and hame. 2018 Mae thi a the condition that alloed God to intervene o heavil in m life. I tarted college at North Lake and met to tudent hile doing a project: Woojin uina and Taihi Minooko. The ere oth part of an organization called CARP. It a the firt I had heard of it, and et for ome reaon I reall anted to join, even though I kne 2017 nothing aout it. o much o that I arranged m chedule for the next emeter o that it ouldn’t interfere ith clu meeting. I ent to almot all the event and meeting for no particular reaon other than I jut kne I had to e there, and I a dran the love I received hile eing there. It a a different atmophere that I an’t ued to at home, chool, or even church. International ventuall, I egan to realize that other CARP memer ere reading a ook in group Trip that I an’t ver familiar ith. It a the Divine Principle. I aked CARP leader if I could read it too, and ithin the eek I a tuding ith Taihi and arah Jackon. Our tudie ould go on for hour talking aout onl a fe page of material. I couldn’t 2018 2017
elieve hat I a reading. After finihing the ook, I kne that God had placed me here for a reaon, ut m life completel changed once I attended the five da Divine Principle orkhop. I teted it teaching and principle appling it to m famil. M famil changed in amazing a in onl a fe hort month. It a the firt time I hugged m mom ithout incing, the firt time m iter told me that the loved me and meant it, and the firt time I a ale to love them for ho the ere and here the ere at. Our famil in’t perfect, ut e came a long a.
No, I live at the CARP houe a a CARP leader and have learned o much. M relationhip ith God i o much tronger no, and the relationhip I have ith other around me are etter.
