Two Years Post Baptism: Reflecting on Change and Growth
A lot has changed in the two years since I was baptised as an adult. Why have I stopped consuming a lot of secular content? Because I was led to. Read this blog post to find out what else I was led to change over the last few years.
Growing In My Faith
I find that when I’m binge-watching something, I’m avoiding something. Instead, I could sit in my thoughts with my journal and unpick what’s going on to help heal myself more. Don’t get me wrong, I still binge-watch things, as that’s sometimes the best option in the moment, but it's become a bad habit for me. It used to be helpful, and now I’m finding it difficult to stop it and confront my thoughts which would help me more.
I’ve Been Baptised, So Now What?
I gave my life to Jesus because He has helped me SO much not only since late 2019 but also, looking back I know now that He has ALWAYS been with me throughout my life. Even when I acknowledge Him like I do now or even didn’t know Him as I do now.
What God Has Been Teaching Me
Even though it’s difficult to see if God works in the waiting. The waiting isn’t wasted even though it feels like it is being wasted. He is working for us in us and through us. We have to trust in him in those moments of apparent abandonment from him. So again hope in the waiting.
It feels like he’s preparing me for something although obviously, I’ve no idea what. Trust used to be the word that would come up for me so many times I feel I’ve conquered that a lot more this past year and past few months. I put in my trust in him daily and made a concerted effort to put my trust in him to switch my mindset to trust him to know that he has my best interests at heart.
