So since the about me section of the profile is way too short (or I just talk too much) here is a quick overview of me. I am 23 years old, married and love my Mitch SO very much. I have been blessed with a family who is loving, supportive and always there for me. I have 3 siblings (bro Samir in China, Sis Priya in Colorado, and baby Lily (linger blinger) in Birmingham n high school). My dad is Indian (Dot type, not feather) and my mom is British from England.
I grew up as a Christian, going to church Sundays and praying occasionally (though we never said grace). Yet, I wasn't introduced to the Truth of having a relationship with Jesus until middle school through Matt Hook, the Youth Pastor. In an attempt to try this relationship thing, I began reading my bible and praying to God. Yet, that dwindled pretty quick once I got to high school and became caught up more in fitting in, and set God aside so that I could focus on my vanity idol and attempt to deal with the anxiety that came with it. Along with all of this, I began dating Mitch when I was 16. It was wonderful, but very physical, which ultimately pulled both of us further and further away from God. After a horrible, depression filled 6 months of neediness following the decision that I was old enough to have sex, Mitch came to me and told me that he thought it would be a good idea for us to stop doing the thing that was damaging our relationship as well as our souls. Thus, we abstained until we wed. Best decision ever. God opened Mitch's ears to this huge issue, and through that act, turned my head towards Himself, though at the time it was only the slightest bit. As the next 3 years went by slowly but surely God turned both of our heads more and more. And He continues to do so still today. I would say on my relationship continuum with God, I have now maybe reached my first birthday. What I mean by that is that I am more than conscious that I have far more growing to do with God, through God and for God. There are struggles, insecurities, thoughts on life that I will write about eventually to fill in the holes of this testimony. But despite the briefness of this account, at least this is a glimpse of the life I have lead and the life I intend to lead with God as my direction, strength, comfort, hope.
