First of all, apologies for not posting for a while. Been sick for the last while and trying to get as much rest as I could. Thankfully, I think the worst of it has passed.

That aside, I wanted to post a set of post revolving around spiritual (and I guess they’re also life related) milestones as a Christian. Before I start writing though, I do have to say, that the realization that these events(?) were turning points in my walk definitely didn’t happen when these things occur. Rather, I realized it a few years later, probably because I’m still young….for now (ohoho).

All jokes aside, I don’t know if reading these will change your life, it probably won’t right away (or maybe it will). Anyway, I hope you enjoy them (?)

Many (if not all) of these milestones are also a part of my ever-changing testimony :]

Epiphany #1:

“When did you first accept Christ?”

In the life of being a Christian, I can guarantee you’ll get this question multiple times.
To be honest, I’ve always had trouble with the answer to that, mostly because I started to going to church when I was a kid (9 years old as far as I remember). I had always thought that maybe, I had really accepted Christ into my heart when I was 13, in grade 8, half way through the school year after I had attended my first Christian youth conference. But around the beginning of university (or I think it might’ve been the end of first year), on one of those odd days where I was reflecting on where I was spiritually and in life (and not long after I had been asked that same question again), I think I realized when it happened.

When I think about it, it kinda seems silly (in my head anyway). But I think this is really when I thought: “Hey, God is real!”

It was in grade 6, when I was 11 (I have a late birthday). It was near the end of the school year, the day before Track and Field day (this was the time when I was still…..mildly athletic….compared to the me now anyway ehe…). Track and Field day was always one of my favourite days of the year (next to PA days woOt!), mostly because we had no class, and we got to be outside for the whole day.

Now, the day before this awesome day, I had noticed that the forecast (on T.V.) had said that it would rain the next day (on Track and Field Day noooooo). And of course, the rain would cancel Track and Field. So that night, I prayed to God asking that it, well…..not rain tomorrow.

And what would know….

IT DIDN’T RAIN! 😀

Of course, as an adult (even a teenager), this almost seems silly right? Weather is totally unpredictable, and can change in an instant. You can say, this could’ve happened by chance too. But to an 11-year old who’s spiritual knowledge and experience was so small, this was something amazing to me (and well…what do you expect? I’m a kid, kid’s minds are sponges).

A simple prayer answered.

That’s all it was. But that really changed something for me. God was real, God answered prayers (course, God is also not a genie), and for a kid, that meant something. Or rather….the start of something.
