My faith would best be described as Christian. Born into a Christian family, my faith has been a part of my life from the very beginning. As a child, it was something that I took for granted. However, when I was around 17, a close family member became severely ill. This was an extremely stressful time. As a deeply prayerful person, my mother started attending weekday services more often, seeking solace in her connection to God. I began to accompany her. When everything in my life felt confusing and painful, attending church and taking part in prayer became something that felt calming and soothing. This period of my life significantly shaped my faith development and my dedication to Christian values.
Currently, I am in the middle of my faith journey. After spending my younger years ignoring my faith, I have reconnected with it, and I am slowly learning more about myself and Christianity. I would categorize my spirituality level as high. Learning more about my faith by questioning things and learning more history will advance my faith journey. So far, I believe that my faith has impacted my life by making me more centered and joyful. I also believe that it has affected my interpersonal relationships by reminding me to be more accepting, patient, and understand others. It has affected my view on life by making my life goals less rooted in material things and more focused on positively impacting the people around me and the community in general.

Action Plan
Going forward, I plan to further develop my faith by studying more on Christian values, beliefs, and texts. I want a deeper understanding of Christian theology and history, as I feel that this would fill in many of the gaps in my knowledge created by my lack of interest in my early years. Studying Christian content has been noted as a great way to deepen one’s faith (Bray, 2019). I also plan to start meditating twice a week, for a few minutes every morning. This will help me create a deeper relationship and connection with God and reflect on my faith.
