since then God hasn’t slowed down…

Having been going to Thornhill Baptist Church with my Mum since I was little, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t believe in God, but I never had a particularly strong relationship with him. I’d pray and worship in Sunday School, and when I did, I’d think of him as some distant God rather than my Father who was with me. As I grew older, my faith steadily developed, I started to take part in other church groups throughout the week and meeting other Christians my age inspired me to move away from being a lukewarm Christian and develop my relationship with Jesus.

In the end of 2024, following a friend’s advice, I picked up the bible and began reading Romans, slowly making it part of my daily routine. Consistently reading God’s word not only taught me more about Christ, but more about myself and the world around me. I went to a Christian Camp at the start of 2025, where I watched friends become Christians and saw the Holy Spirit at work in them and in me. This led to me deciding to be baptised in June, which was one of the greatest days of my life, and since then God hasn’t slowed down.

God has always been there for me through the highs and the lows, and even though I’m still learning to distinguish his voice, I’m doing my best to figure out where he’s pointing me to next.
