#FaithMatters

This week the inter webs have witnessed a lot of debate on Hillsong Worship Leader/Song Writer Marty Sampson's  revelation/confession. On a since deleted Instagram post, Marty admitted that he is losing his faith - "Time for some real talk. I'm genuinely losing my faith, and it doesn't bother me. Like, what bothers me now is nothing. I am so happy now, so at peace with the world. It's crazy". Thing is, Marty is a dope song writer and some of my Hillsong Favorites have actually been written/co-written by him - All I Need Is You, Open Heaven (River Wild), Take All Of Me among many others - so this came as a shocker. There's been a lot that has been said about his confession including how he was not a real christian to start and so I'm not about to jump on that bandwagon. It however made me have an introspection of my own walk of faith hence - #FaithMatters. I will be lying if I tell you that I have not had moments where I questioned my own faith....

#ChroniclesOfAGodGal

I'm a very adventurous gal.... I always jump on an opportunity then figure out stuff later. Many are the times I have started on a journey that I have no idea where it will end. Most times I enjoy the ride and refuse to get off even when I know I will get into trouble but other times the cautious side of me checks in and I jump off. Once upon a time several months ago, I got the crazy idea that I needed to find out if there was more to God/Faith/Salvation - crazy right?  I was your regular Sunday kinda christian. I'd faithfully go to church on Sundays, praise/worship, listen to the sermon and wait for the next Sunday. I however started wondering if there was more. I remember sitting down with a friend and asking her "Is there more to salvation than just being guaranteed eternity?" As in we are encouraged to desire deepeer levels but what happens when you get to that deeper level,  what next? She looked at me puzzled like what do you mean!! You keep pursuing a dee...
