Introduction + Welcome to the Blog!

I’ve never written a blog before. I’ve never really had the desire to. I’m no writer! In fact, I’ve gotten away with never taking a “real” English class in my life (story for a later time). Ironically enough, I’ve always wanted to write a book. You’d wonder how that thought came into my mind. I think from a young age, I was impressed with this desire because my grandfather wrote several books on astronomy.

Fast forward to a few months ago. I was on the phone with a dear friend from my church small group, sharing some ideas and observations about today’s society, when out of nowhere she said “I feel like you should write a book”. Those words stopped me in my tracks and revived in me a desire that had been dormant for a while. I thought to myself, “maybe I should.” Starting a blog seemed like the perfect segway, and would allow me to practice my writing and find my voice. So here I am. :)

At this point you might be wondering “okay we get it, you’re starting a blog… but what is it about?” Well, the answer is quite simple: I want to write about God. I want to write about Jesus and the Gospel, and the profound, transforming effect it has had on my life in the past year or so. Hence the name: transformed in truth.

I picked the name - with the help of some trusted people in my life - because it not only reflects my inner-self journey to finding and accepting the love of Christ, but it’s also a name that I hoped would echo with my readers.

I envision my readers falling into 2 categories. I’m not one for putting people in boxes, but hear me out. I myself have journeyed from one to the other last year:

1. Christian women: this first category is pretty obvious. If you’re here in the first place, you’re probably thinking “duh”, but here is the twist: as someone who has only been Christian for a hot second, I was so surprised to see that many Christian women are not really on fire for Jesus. I’m talking about the kind of fire that makes you completely in awe of your creator and what he has done for you. Generally speaking, I have found this to be true for women who have grown up with Jesus their whole lives and/or have never been through a life-changing hardship. My goal through this blog is to share God through the lens of someone who literally changed her life because of the transforming truth of the Gospel, and did so in the past year. It’s so fresh in my mind that I want to write about my journey to learning about our God so that I can help ignite (or re-ignite) a passion for Him in you as well. My hope is that hearing His truth would transform you once again.

2. The second group is less evident, but if you are still reading this post and you are not a Christian (let’s be honest, you’re probably a friend of mine who’s trying to be supportive - thank you for that!), you’re probably wondering what you have to gain from this. Well, the answer is simple. Just a year ago, I was you. I didn’t believe God was real. In fact I thought people who believed in Jesus were weird. You may even have thought that I’m weird, and that’s perfectly okay! Here’s why: I want to break down my journey to God for you too. My hope is that, as I lay down the foundations of faith found in the Bible, you would be able to understand what led me to believing, and that perhaps it would spark a fire in you too.

If you walk away with one thing today, it’s that accepting Jesus changed my life for the better, and I whole-heartedly believe He can do the same for you no matter what stage of life you are in. My prayer is that you too would be transformed in His truth.

I hope you choose to stay along this journey and keep learning about the creator of the universe who, coincidentally, also created you :)
