Sharing with you my journey with my faith

Nearly two years ago I started writing this story spanning decades of my walk with my faith. It is only today that I can say as a writer that I have managed to edify the church with the gifts I have been given which I was thrilled about. I have had other areas of interest in my life as well.
I'm not looking for comments really just sharing, it is about the gifts of the Holy Spirit spiritual Christian although I do like traditions at times. I am very glad to have experienced very good lecturers.
It is in my signature I have no idea if it will show will paste the link, it is one page with no ads.
I have like three online projects going on different things.
This is the link to my testimony.

Thank you so much for your reply jsilver56, I am going to return and keep on reading it. Some of us as have said have different paths. I think you have made great strides as a Christian as you have converted relatively recently but have long term struggles.
 
I recently regained my faith in God and began identifying as a Christian again, after a period in the wilderness of agnosticism and atheism.

I am glad to hear the stories of others to this end, also.
 
These projects help give more of an meaning to my life as well. I am thrilled that I edified the church. I don't know what I will do next. I made a video though which I will share with you. The personal photos were taken at a better time physically for me during Covid lockdown in 2020 when I wanted to give thanks to God in church. The rest is recent, even Pentecost day my favourite in the calendar I got that down and it is about what the gifts of spirit is related to with its connection. My parents advised me no personal photos at the moment so I got inspired.
It is not a long video. It kind of makes me emotional even with my back out, long story. I have done other covering videos for other projects as well.

 
I said today I feel that Jesus gives us our testimony to write as Christians. I do feel like that and I think he does for all Christians as I mentioned and I like reading other peoples testimones and learn from some and give Glory to God for them as well. Jesus is the head of the church and as Christians are just part of his body. He knew ok that I have enjoyed writing from childhood even with grammar issues and would document something. I hope that we all have our ones to write. We all have our unique stories to write. It is seeming now quite timely as well. I would look back and read on them. It is still a walk for all of us and perhaps this might not be my final testimony. Who knows.

Please don't give up on getting better. You are so unique and spiritual and clearly care deeply about the church and Jesus. Your writing is absolutely beautiful with or without grammar issues. Keep on doing it and I hope you have many more testimonies to give.

Lol my head off. My school girl projects reached its conclusion today and it is fully completed. I have barely updated it since I posted. I just got some business cards developed and put them in my local estates flats where I live more deprived in nature and those I know. I gave some out at church to people I know and left them in the reception if people wanted one to take. To some who I felt they like may relate I gave out in the street. I loved also pinning them in my local Sainsbury's for people to take at their own free will.

This project I strongly feel was given by the Lord at just 17 to write later in my life as he is the one who is the head of the church and appoints the gifts as well and knows I like to observe and write as well. I did the last drop today. It was thrilling to be buzzed and doing the last drop in a block. It was like a year in Sabbatical. I really could really open myself to you all, Seeing many of you as much more better off than me in the flesh and everyday life itself.

Me a year on I am doing better physically today than I was a year ago, Autism has quite hard though and sustained quite some overwhelming and a kick of against my faith at times, but it is in control now thanks be to God.

I come to post about the school projects completion. I love graphs and decided to look at all time views and it has been read in diverse countries and made me think of the two witnesses and I came up with this-
"My lifetime testimony that I wrote for my faith was given to me in my life and I was the writer and it was a joy to do my school girl projects and submit it which was given to me at just 17 years old. I hope I have turned in the best report that I can for the Lord. In the Book of Revelations it says that there will be two witnesses. I was joking to myself that I was paired with someone of my kin and they were my Christian rival and I was go toe to toe with them in covering grounds of reaching nations that Jesus told us to do. So, I was covering the ground with my lifetime journey of my faith. I have attached the countries I have reached and I hope it reaches more, fairy dust. Of course the two witnesses will not be me, and I am just having a bit of laugh and a bit of a mock up, driven".

The first two charts are for the blog, this is the fun part and the second two for the small faith channel. I am trying to encourage anyone of their faith to eventually write their story. I should start working voluntary soon as a hospital chaplain volunteer and I am taking some vows of spiritual union to the church. I wish you all well and get writing if you can and feel ready. I turned this into a free ebook as well.

Hi I thought I would tell you tell you I have given my blog a different look and released several older and newer posts. My Christian Blog
No comments is expected or needed. I am just letting you know. Go for it and do whatever writing you want to if you are that way inclined.

Aside from that I will say this to others self projects can be rewarding.

The first project I did was for eating disorders awareness week in 2021. I lost a dear friend and was motivated to release an article to coincide with eating disorders awareness week in the UK. I also took the time to tell my own story and discuss some key things I felt were of concern. This got good feedback and led to me working with the NHS voluntary on a project and I ended as a co author in the Lancet which was great. They also did a filming of an event and that was good as well.
Co article-Amplifying the voices of Black racial minorities in mental health research

I also had a waterfall project to film and visit all the artificial waterfalls in London parks and Gardens and upload them to Youtube and have a separate channel for that. To finish that of I treated myself to a day trip to Zurich to see the largest waterfall the Rhinefalls. It was a blast.

Rachie, the way you’ve poured your heart into this, not just for yourself but to uplift others, is honestly moving. Whether it’s faith, loss, healing, or waterfalls, you’re turning personal experience into something that touches people across countries. That’s no small thing. You’re showing how self-expression and purpose can coexist in powerful ways. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing.

Thank you Marianna, this is a very nice thing to write and I do appreciate it.
