2. Doing a deep Bible study and enjoying the revelations that God give through this process

3. Spending time with my family and close friends. Cooking delicious food for large number of people

Young adults, kids

The churches who lost their proirity for Christ and focus more on inside Politics and committees concerns me a lot..the very purpose of the church is missing here I feel. On other side, watching young adults involved more in the ministry and God’s work excites me a lot.

[E]xperience

I was born a Christian into an ardent Baptist family. For most of my childhood I was a proper Baptist following their traditional ways. But when I was teens, I started to realize though I am praying, singing in churches and stages, there is still some sort of void inside. I still was short-tempered, impatient though I used to pray day and night and also pray for others. Then one day, my non-Christian best friend made me realize what’s the point in being a Christian I am still acting like a wordly person full of anger inside..That hit me hard and God gave me a revelation. From that day forward, I believe I became the real follower of Christ and I kept all my weaknesses infront of Him asking for Forgiveness. God took me in His arms and is always with me in every walk of my life, every step neatly designed by Him. Every moment of my life is a testimony of His abundant Grace ..I wouldn’t be the same if it’s not for Him..While He was on the Cross, I was on His mind..That very thought that He thinks of me makes me want Him more..The way He talks with me through people, circumstances and dreams encourages me to lean on Him more.

My mom and my husband’s mom are the key roles who made me the woman I am today. They taught me through their lives how to be woman described in Proverbs 30.

My husband and my best friends who are my constants, who always encouraged me , been patient with me in my hard days and helped bounce back every single time I was down.

Sports is part of my life and blood as music is..My dad first introduced me to Tennis and playing the sport really nurtures the sportiveness and positiveness in oneself. Imbibed a lot of positive qualities watchingederer play.

Teenage emotions and immaturity led to few wrong friendships. Though never crossed boundaries, through those unnecessary experiences and friendships , I learnt to be a better and wise person. But God have never left even for a moment though I tried to go astray. That is what helped me not to go down into ashes

Being in hostel, watching people of different qualities and nature, helped me to understand people better when I came back to the more real world
