About me

So who is this Girl??  I am 24 years old, single, and very new Christian convert.

I became a Christian, 2.5 years ago- during my 4th years of Medical School- and I am now a practicing doctor in the UK- by God's grace :)

My testimony story is often quite long- so I shall save that for another post.

But let's move to what happened from when I became a Christian.  I'd like to point out I am from a completely unchurched background.   My parents are both Hindus and as such I was raised as one and that is what I believed.  To define what I believe as a Hindu is very difficult concept- because no two Hindu really believe the same thing.  Especially in the later years of my life, with a very challenging home situation, I found my faith to be very unsatisfactory on many levels- now it would be unfair to go on about this without explaining it- so I shall stop it here, until I have a chance to write my testimony post properly- however, this is in no way to denigrate my previous faith at all.  I always saw Hinduism as a way to find the Truth and your Creator in whatever ways you could- the answers I found there were not too my satisfaction and my life did not show any reflection of change as a result of it. One thing, Hinduism has led me to the Beginning of this Path- which is the quest for Truth- absolute and unadulterated- and by the Seeking of my Lord and Saviour- I truly believe that this Truth is held in this way only in One Person- our Lord Jesus Christ.

So I became a Christian- let me clarify a few points though- I did not become a Christian through the influence of any physical person- I came across many people in that last year before I became a Christian- funnily enough two of these people were Chaplains at my University- when I had family trouble I would go to them, very resistant to the Gospel or 'proselytizing' in any shape or form- and I can assure you- that not one conversation about Jesus took place- perhaps questions about God in a very abstract fashion- but certainly I was not presented the Gospel.

It was nearly a whole year after, whilst deciding that something in my life needed to change, and resisting letting Christ in my life, that I made my confession of faith and by the grace of God became Christian.  From them on, tremendous changes occurred in my life- and this thing I had always been looking for, this void I was not even aware I had- when it started to be healed.

To the Christians and non-Christians out there-  I was to make that clear- it was between me and God- no one else. I knew no theology- I had no ideas of the disputes between Catholics and Protestants and I most certainly knew nothing of Orthodoxy.  I did not even own a Bible- although I had read bits on and off, on my laptop.  Bit of Christian theology- Protestant- as I am know slowly finding out- theology, that I can know spout off without thinking- were completely foreign- it was only after several Sunday services at church- that I even knew that Christ died on the Cross for me- which made me love Him more- but I certainly had no idea- that that was the whole point of the cross. 

In the last two years and I want to be brief, as I will elaborate this further, I have mainly been part of Anglican Churches- primarily because that's where God led me.  How I know this- long story- but basically, for two years, with no active decision- this was where it was right for me.  God brought people into my life and taught me about the Faith.  

So why this move to Orthodoxy- well that shall be from yet another post :)
