I would like to tell my story!

Hello everyone,

My name is Kimberley and I'm from the Netherlands. I'm 21 years old. As the title says: I would like to tell my personal story.

I grew up in a happy family with my parents and my younger sister. In the Netherlands it's not very common that people are religious. I grew up without much knowledge about faith and what it means.

It was only until I was around 16 years old. I started to feel alone and empty. Much more often I kept feeling that there was more in life than just living and working. I felt like someone was with me in times that I needed someone in life. I had to know that I wasn't alone.
That's the point I learned more about God and about our Savior!
I started with reading the Bible and do Bible study as much as I could & now I know that I have to be thankful in life. I would love to learn more about faith, and I like to get to know new people in life.

I am not baptised yet, but it would be amazing if my believe would get strong enough for me to get baptised. I would come so much closer to God and put even more trust in Faith.

Is there anyone who would like to talk with me? Especially about learning more about faith?

I'm really sorry if my writing isn't that good, I'll try my best.

Have a blessed day,

Kimberley

 

Thank you!
I only follow churches online, for almost every Sunday. In my neighborhood aren't many churches, and my parents would probably not allow me to attempt.

So the only Bible studies I do right now are watching special videos and read on Bible websites.

I feel like that's why it's so important for me to have contact with godly people who would like to talk with me about everything!

 

Thank you so much for the compliment and the welcome! Sometimes I feel a little insecure because English wasn't my best class at school.

There is actually a lot of Dutch history in The States, it's really amazing. Your name really does sound Dutch!

 

Actually, I think the first things that I saw were at this TV show, called 19 kids and counting. I don't know if many people have heard about it, but while watching it, I was gaining more and more interest in Faith.

Three years ago, I also had 2 amazing friends at school who were both Christians. They were so nice, and I learned a lot from them. It's sad that they live pretty far away from me. I am really thankful for them!

 

There are a few, but my parents probably won't let me attempt. That's why I try to follow the services live online.

I was trying to go to a Christian family camp in The States to volunteer this summer, but it was to quick to arrange everything. Hopefully I will be able to go next summer. I think it will teach me a lot of (new) things!
