Summer 2024

Change is a necessary part of life to encourage growth. Recently I have had some significant changes in this year 2024. I was in a toxic relationship that finally came to an end at the beginning of this year. I have learned the difference between reflection and rumination, respecting your personal boundaries, and the power of forgiveness. My heart was softened during this time and I continued to seek something greater than myself. This is when I leaned into God, and returned to my Christian roots. I started with watching sermons online lead my Paster Mike Todd from Transformation Church. There was a sermon in the beginning of the year where I felt a clear and strong conviction. He said, “If you are looking at these sermons online only as your means of being in church, you need to go to a physical church and become part of it.” The intention was that you cannot grow where you are not planted. After that I started looking into other churches locally and found one in the South Bay area that resonated with my beliefs. I started attending there and since then the Holy Spirit has guided me and made it clear what my purpose is to be here, well at least part of it. It’s Medical Ministry. God blessed me with the gifts of healing, encouragement, and servitude. This revelation made my heart melt and made me feel so full of purpose and joy. Soon after this revelation I began getting spiritually attacked for a few months where I would have nightmares of my hands being severely damaged, unusable, and unable to call out to Jesus. I realized now after looking back in retrospect and learning more about demons and the spirit world through Father Reehill, Pastor Vlad Savchuk, and Father Lampert that I opened spiritual doors by dabbling in the new age/occult beliefs. I learned how these false beliefs opens a door to the spirit realm, leaves you vulnerable to spiritual attacks, and pulls you away from the one true God. My previous blogs had some hints of this New Agey wisdom, and I left them here as an intention to share my testimony that God can use anyone for His glory. He is the creator of all things, and as long as you believe in your heart that His Son Jesus died for your sins and rose again from the dead, He can make your paths straight and guide you home. He has a plan for you.

“For I know the plans I have for you, ‘declares the Lord, ‘plans to proser you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Soon after I got baptized! I feel like my life is in alignment with what God has in store for me. Thank you for checking in and reading this. If you need prayer, support, or would like to follow me on this journey feel free to comment ( :
