If you’ve read my about page, then you know that WiC stands for Walking in Christ. While I haven’t always been a Christian, and I certainly don’t consider myself a “Bible Thumper,” I do have my own story about how I found Him. Here’s a new article talking about how I became a Christian:

Christianity is More Than Just Words

As a child, I went to an Episcopal elementary school. Every Friday, we would file into the chapel and diligently recite the Lord’s Prayer. At home, however, there was no explanation of what I was doing in the chapel. My father, while a Christian, was married to an atheist. They believed in raising a child to form their own beliefs, not having faith instilled in them. When I entered into high school, my father made a few attempts to get me involved in the church, mostly by having me attend Sunday school. Again, there was no dialogue of what the point was. I remember thinking, “He wants me to act like them? They’re doing worse stuff than I am!”

It wasn’t until a few years after college that my journey to know Christ really began. I was working in a job I didn’t like, was friends with people who didn’t actually like me, and I was feeling alone. Fortunately, I did have one friend who actually cared. One friend who knew of a better way to live life. And while I was feeling lost, my friend offered a path to find happiness. He shared a way to find, receive, and ultimately give back love continuously and uncondtionally, and that path was through Jesus Christ.

It was a bright and sunny day. A friend and I were sitting in a Checker’s parking lot enjoying our burgers and fries. We look to our left and we see that the sky has turned dark. No, really. Half the sky was bright and sunny, the other half was almost completely black. “We’d better [...]

Do you remember my post last week about how I was letting trying to get a BlogHer’ 10 ticket stress me out? If you do, then you’ll also remember that ultimately, I realized I had to give up my own desires and humble myself to whatever plans the Lord has for me. How’s this for [...]

I’ll admit it – yesterday, around 1PM, I suffered from a case of the doldrums. While this could be attributed to my lack of sleep or perhaps not enough sugar in my bloodstream, I’m 99.999% sure that I was starting to get depressed about my search for a BlogHer ’10 conference pass. I wanted to [...]
