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.
Peace & Blessings,
Miriam

August 28, 2010 at 1:42 pmI can’t believe I didn’t know what WIC meant, I love it! I love your testimony! I am a christian as well and you’re so right it’s not about saying a prayer it’s about this change that takes place from the inside and radically changes everything about you. My biggest inspirations have been looking beyond American Christianity and toward those that are being persecuted everyday. One of the most touching books I ever read was called Tortured For Christ by Richard Wurmbrand. A lot of times the Voice of Martyrs website offers this book for free. I could go on forever.. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony!

Thanks so much for your support and comments Jamie and bayctygrl!
