Reader Post: "Micah's mom"

This reader post comes from "Micah's mom." Thanks for contributing, "Micah's mom"! The paragraph below, as well as the tattoo picture in this post, are the intellectual property of "Micah's mom."

I got my tattoo when I was 19, just after my freshman year at college. I had been struggling with my faith when I finished high school and had chosen to go to an out of state Christian university mainly to just get out my state and as far from home as my parents would let me go. Even though it wasn't my first choice, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did I make some amazing friends and have a great time, I also rediscovered my faith. Actually I think it became my own for the first time instead of me relying on someone else's. I wanted to do something permanent to symbolize that and have a physical reminder of where I've been and what it all means. So I got a Celtic cross.
