I like the part where you call yourself existentialist, yet you defy the very foundational aspect of existentialism by being Christian. Christians believe that God has a plan, or essentially that essence precedes our existence.
Existentialism's foundational premise is that existence comes first, then subjectivity -> self-defined essence. How can you claim self-actualization while simultaneously subjecting yourself to a belief system that calls for the opposite of self-actualization?
It sounds to me like you've read a basic article on existentialism, took the parts you thought were interesting and ignored everything important.
