00:00
He loves us no matter
00:01
where we've come from
00:02
and no matter what we've done.
00:04
My name's Rosie and this is my story.
00:07
When I went to uni, I never
really went to church in term
00:11
time but when I went home
I went to my home church.
00:14
And I did that for about three years,
00:16
and it was fine and I
was enjoying my life.
00:18
But I didn't realise how far I had
00:20
kind of strayed away I
suppose from the church.
00:23
I was living much more for
the world and that kind
00:26
of lifestyle rather than who
I'd been called to be by God.
00:32
It was more I would say after
uni, in my final year that
00:35
I really had just a deeper
understanding of why I wanted
00:39
to be a Christian, and
really owned it for myself.
00:41
It was more of my personal faith.
00:43
After uni, I was working
away trying to get
00:45
into conservation and just
couldn't get anywhere at all.
00:49
And then randomly this
job in Stirling came up,
00:52
for three months, so I was like,
00:54
"oh, I'll just go to Stirling."
00:57
and it wasn't really what I
wanted to do a hundred percent
01:01
and here I am about two
and a half years later.
01:04
I was baptised just December just past.
01:07
So I'd been wanting to
get baptised for a while.
01:10
I just got to a point,
I was like, "oh I'm 25,
01:13
and I've always believed in God,
01:14
I don't know why I've not been baptised".
01:16
Because in the Bible it says
believe and be baptised.
01:19
And then I'd been like, "oh
yeah, I believe and then I'll-"
01:22
I kind of, I don't know why but I thought
01:25
I needed to get my life together,
01:26
I needed to become perfect
or become a really good,
01:30
perfect Christian and then get baptised,
01:33
and it doesn't work like
that, God's not asked us
01:35
to do it like that because,
01:37
yeah no one's going to
be a perfect Christian.
01:39
I feel I share my faith with Jesus
01:43
through living a life for Jesus.
01:48
Some of my best friends are non-Christian,
01:50
and I think just living a life for God
01:53
and them seeing you
getting excited about Jesus
01:57
and excited about God is just so fantastic
02:00
and seeing that it isn't
weird to love Jesus.
02:03
It's really normal and it's really fun.
02:04
Everyone has a story to share
about their journey with God,
02:09
so even if you have always known God,
02:13
you still have a journey
because everyone's life
02:15
is different, and yeah you
can help people who maybe are
02:20
struggling with their faith
through sharing your story
02:22
and inspire them maybe to believe in God.
