Despite coming from a loving, religious family, at the age of 13 Lucy Starkie began to base her identity and worth on what others thought about her. In college she sought approval by putting up a strong front, which kept her from living authentically. At a retreat one night in adoration, she realized that she had to decide between the lies she made up about herself and the Truth Jesus had for her. She opted for Jesus and was flooded by a wave of love, turning her darkness into light.
