I have been engaged in continued seeking for more, this time out in my local community and going from here to there, exploring whats on offer in the surroundings of my town...and I have spent a lot of time in the churches.
It came about as a result of an ill-minded accident I had nearly completely severing two of my fingers on my best hand, and the plastic surgery at a hospital quite far away from my home, thus needing transport.
I am so fortunate to live in the place where I do...as I have found out over the past few years. Local to me is a hospital transport service, who, for a donation, got me to where I needed to be at plastics outpatients hospital in a different county regularly.
Truth be told, I lost the spark for Esoteric Student, it has been such a tumultuous time but now feels right to begin to use this blog as a therapy tool once more...
During the trips to the hospital, I have become good friends with one of the volunteers whom I happened to ask if he is a religious man, and indeed he is, very religious.
He is a Christian, his wife too, whom I am also good friends with now. And I listened and we spoke about his life and faith. I then also found out that this volunteer based transport service, operates out of a Christian book shop. If anyone knows me, they know I love hoarding books and I am actually in the process of turning my home into a giant library...I love books!
So I found out where it is, one thing leads to another and I now volunteer there.
During this time though, I had been going to some food morning's at a couple of different churches. Being around them made me even more curious about Christianity, and began to learn.
Through the book shop I discovered a couple of Bible study groups and I also began attending a local Christian Fellowship Church. I would creep in at the back, then creep off again just before it ended, (I can be very shy and timid in different environments.)
The music kept me coming back to begin with, and slowly I began to come out of my shell and be around the church members and community in my town.
And now 18 months or so later, I am looking forward to being Baptized and I now am a Christian.
An infant in Christianity terms, I have a lot of issues to work through, like everyone else does, but slowly, and surely, I am growing in my faith of Jesus Christ, and proclaiming he is King.
On the 23rd of May 2026, with a group of 15 of us, made our way to London for the Jesus March with thousands of others from Marbel Arch to Trafalgar Square...2 miles. It turned into the hottest day of the year thus far and three of us needed medical attention from St John's Ambulance members when we had reached the destination.
It then turned into a time of mass worship and prayer until around 5 PM and we reached our coach home.
