The Steps of a Christian

Authors Notes

I was born in a raised Christian home with my parents and my two older siblings.

We lived on the North side of England in a place called Northwich.

Me and my family lived there for a while but then when I was 2 years old, we moved down to the south and that's were I'm still living right now; in my teens.
Anyway we found a Methodist Church which me and my family had adopted as our home.

My dad became deputy pastor, so he did preach a few times, (also he preached at schools: including mine) he also worked with kids:
In Sunday school along with my mum and at a Christian youth club that used to be on every Tuesday called J Club.

Now and then as I grew up in the church I began reading out verses from the Bible and singing hymns in the worship band along with dad.

But in September 2013, my dad had passed away...

At the time it was just me and mum at home and my older siblings were at school.

I remember when the ambulance came around our house I just sat in the sitting room drawing a cartoon picture of my dad to remember him by.
Then at that moment I cried out to God begging him to save my dad's life but it was to late my dad was gone.

Then I doubted God and questioned him saying,
"Why me?"

The next day I went back to school and everyone wouldn't stop asking me: How dad died?
Honestly I just wanted to run out of the room but I told them anyway.

But when it came to dad's funeral I felt like I was drowning in my own tears and that's when I realised that Jesus was throwing me a life jacket to pull be back to shore.

For a few weeks we didn't go to church because there was to many memories of my dad there. So then we decided to move to a new church called CPC (City Praise Centre).

In July the next year, I had excepted Jesus into my life, shared my testimony and got baptised. In the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

As the years went by my family struggled, my mum was always tried and achy so me and my siblings helped out alot around the house. Then later on my mum got a boyfriend and honestly I didn't know what to think: Was he taking my dad's place?

But months later my mum went to A&E (hospital), her body felt numb and she struggled.
Honestly I was scared because I didn't want to loose her just like I lost my dad.
The doctors thought it was a stroke but luckily as they took blood samples; they came out all clear.

Now me and my family work in our church:

My mum volunteers at the Church Toddler Group and works with School Pastors.

My sister is a Youth Leader in our Church Youth Group and she has preached many times.

My brother plays base guitar in our Youth Band and in the Main Church Band on Sunday.

Then there's me. I sing in the Youth Band and I love preaching and songwriting.

Also on the 31st March 2018, me and my brother are going to Mexico to bring the word of God to others as we build a house for a family for 10 days.
