Since a child, Shelby believed she was inherently bad. This thought snowballed in her life, where eventually she thought God couldn't like her. She gave up trying and turned to substances to numb out the pain. Coming to the end of herself, she asked her parents for help and shortly after had a conversation which pointed her back to Jesus. She then realized she had rejected God out of fear that He might reject her. She began to reevaluate her beliefs and started a process of exchanging lies for truth, a process that she continues daily.
