From an early age, I grew up with the Christian faith. Yet there have also been periods in my life when I was not sure if and what place I wanted to give this in my life. Whatever questions I may have, I find more and more that God is a living God and that He wants to be present in my life. Above all, I am becoming more fully human by allowing Him into my life.
