I live in Auckland New Zealand
I'm Kiwigirl and I live in the city of Auckland in the north of the North Island, New Zealand. I'm a student at Laidlaw College (a Christian college) working toward my Masters degree in Theology. I joined CB last year, although I've only been around intermittently. I chose the nickname 'Kiwigirl' after my Mum joined up as 'Kiwibird' (affectionately known among her CB friends as Kbird).
I was blessed to be raised by loving, christian parents. I committed my life to Christ at age 8, and was baptised in the Holy Spirit later the same year. Encouraged as a child to seek God for myself, I developed a close walk with the Lord and learned to hear and discern his voice at a young age. I had a very tough time during my childhood and early teenage years, being bullied for 8 out of my 13 years at school. My self-confidence and emotions were left in tatters, and I spent years struggling with a lot of spiritual attack in the form of extreme self-condemnation. However, God had, and still has plans for me, and although I have one or two scars that are still healing, I can recognise that through that difficult time I developed an intimacy with God that I would not likely have been blessed with otherwise. I left high school to go to Bible College, graduating with my degree in April "„09. I discovered a love for systematic theology and am now pursuing graduate studies at the same college. My undergraduate studies were a time of great blessing as well as great stuggle. Being in a place where I felt happy, safe and loved, God God got down to the serious business of healing the wounds and memories of the past. Many of you will know the pain involved in wading through old hurts, shame and fears. But God has blessed me hugely in this place, restoring my joy and creating a new young woman who is not ashamed of who she is and is learning to bravely hold her head high. One of the greatest blessings was my two years spent as part of a small intercessory prayer team, in which God taught me a great deal, allowing me both to bless and be blessed. I have been struggling with some health issues over the last 18 months, during which time my understanding of God has been stretched and broadened. I have realised that God is so much bigger than I thought he was. I am enjoying the blessing and the challenge both in my studies and with my health of learning to see new "ïsides"„ to God.
