Since doing Alpha at Saints I’ve felt a real sense of peace come back into my life, a profound restoration of my faith and my relationship with Jesus, and a fulfilling of a spiritual hunger I’ve been feeling for sometime now. I grew up in a Christian household, and although I feel like I’ve had a strong seed of faith since I was a child largely thanks to my parents, through my late teens, 20s and early 30s I think I’ve tried to do life mostly on my own, and haven’t prioritised God. I’ve tried to keep up with people, compare my life and success to others, and I’ve just felt this there’s been this gap in my life – I’ve really been longing for God again.

Alpha’s helped me to remember just how important God is in my life, and I’ve found myself remembering all of the amazing things that Gods done for me before. It’s not only giving me more peace, but more joy, compassion and empathy back into my life. I’ve found God speaking to me after doing Alpha each week so clearly – be it through reading the Bible, his Word speaking to me, through podcasts in my car and answers to prayer popping up on my phone! God is speaking to me through so many means and it’s restored my faith, peace and joy. Not only am I starting to feel this spiritual hunger become satisfied, but I’m finding myself hungry for even more 😀

It’s been incredible to see and hear him speaking to me, and it’s been moving to see how much he loves me, after all this time I’ve tried to do life my own way. To quote John 9, I feel like “I was blind and now I can see” and to be honest not only see, but also hear Him again!
