I'm perhaps, what you would call your average Christian girl.

I am grateful to say I grew up in a faith-based home, with three fun-lovein' and loud siblings in tow. (FUN-fact - I was home schooled until graduation. No, we didn't do school with our jammies on - at least not everyday! ) I went to church with my family on Sundays, and since a child I believed in God and had a sensitivity to spiritual matters. For the most part trying to stay out of trouble.

Was I saved? 

 I made a profession of faith at the age of four with my mum. The problem was I didn't remember any of it. As I grew up, without having any recollection of the experience I often doubted if I was really saved. 

What was wrong? 

Time went by and I finally reached the age kids 'dream off' (or not) - teenage-hood. (Que the ominous music)  Yep, I was a teen, and I would like to say I was the epitome of virtue but nope. Sadly, I allowed my thoughts to get me in a place of trouble. My heart had grown cold for God.  I lived for a while shrugging away my sin. Though, I felt bad about it, I didn't really possess the ability to stop and that's why I strongly believe I didn't have the Holy Spirit living inside of me. At this moment in time my 'Christian life' - was sadly a lie. 

Defining moment of life - that changed my forever! 

Then it happened. Sometime during the late thirteen - early fourteen stage, I vividly remember opening my Bible at Romans 6.  As some of you might be aware, Rom. 6 doesn't sugar-coat sin. No, it calls it out in your life for what it is. And that's what I needed. The Lord convicted my heart and for the first time I realised I couldn't be indifferent to Jesus anymore. I couldn't say I was a 'Christian' and live like the world.  So, with a sincere heart - I surrendered all my life to Jesus. I would now live like He wanted me to. And I would turn away from the sins in  my  life that were breaking His heart. That was the moment - salvation became real and personal to me! Wanna know how I know? My heart and life were forever changed after. 

The struggle was real. 

Was everything in my life perfect since then on? No. I enjoyed a close walk and relationship with the Lord soon afterwards but during most of my teenage years, sadly I strayed and wasted so much time in sin and self. BUT the Lord was ever faithful and always reached out for my heart no matter how far I wandered. He met me where I was, healed my wounds and showed me how to live in victory and freedom with Him! He can do the same for you! 

My passion.

The Lord has given me a heart-passion to reach out to other young girls who might be experiencing the same life struggles I was and encouraging them with the truths & insights He taught me. I also love to write fiction Novels and tidbits as well as inspirational blogs and devotionals - always with a cup of coffee by my side.
