My journey

My aim is to make sure this blog doesn't turn into a personal diary. Having said this I will be drawing from my life experiences of being a young mum, wife, sister and God's creation.

Ok so here we go. I've always called myself a Christian, why? because its all I've known. I was born in Ghana and it was quite common to define ones self through religion, with the most popular being Christian or Moslem. To be honest I really didn't think much of what being Christian meant, I just did what I was told.  See that's the annoying thing about  growing up in Ghana, you are taught to obey and never to question...perhaps the effects of colonialism. 

My sister and I were dragged from church to church by various step mothers who were on this quest to worship God. At age 14 I had formed an idea of God - he casts out demons, gives you money and protects you from evil family members who were all witches. Having fully understood God, I wanted him to let me marry my then crush, help me pass all my exams, give me money, give me children and a nice house. When my crush broke my heart nothing mattered any more because God had failed. Fast forward to this moment, I'm married, I've got the baby, the loving hubby, the flat(not the house), I've graduated university, so why do I still want more. I started asking questions, trying to understand why I am on earth and what's going to happen when I die.

I have decided to go back to basics and the purpose of this blog is to find out who God is, why he created us and why he would bother with human beings. Hopefully my journey will inspire you and you can teach me what you know.
