My Faith Journey
I was raised in a Moravian Church in Kingston, Jamaica, where at the tender age of 12, I gave my life to Christ and was Confirmed. By the age of 19, having migrated to the US years before, I opted to reaffirm my faith and got (water) baptized. My love of God and Church is directly attributed to my upbringing and the influences of my grandmother, who was a Church ‘elder’ in my childhood Church; my mother, a Deacon, and my step-father, who was both a Deacon and a Chaplin at a Baptist Church in a NY suburb. Grief stricken with my parents’ death a few years ago I questioned my faith and wondering what my purpose was and why He could so freely take away the people closest to me… but it wasn’t long before I returned to the core of what I was taught and allowed God to redirect my path and I’ve allowed Him to continue doing so today in everything I do.
