Hello!

New here...don't know much about the site. I never really participate much in places like Reddit where I used to browse a lot. I've always been more of a lurker on any social media platform. Thought I'd try something new and put myself out there.

I've been an in and out believer for about 20 years. In my youth, I kind of just accepted church doctrine as "truth" but never really explored what it meant to me. For a while I just kind of rebelled against it all and studied the occult and buddhism. It was a really lonely time for me. I was homeless, gave two children up for adoption and wound up getting a divorce.
I had so many crazy and frightening dreams. Many of them with Christian symbolism. Like in one I was being hung on an electric blue cross.

Some things eventually began hitting home for me about who Christ really was, and I began to understand him and the religion in a much more personal way. It was a slow conversion for me but eventually I did come back to God and my life has been getting gradually better since. I still struggle with PTSD and doubt because of everything I've been through but I have a steady roof over my head, the support of my family, a supportive relationship and I don't worry about going hungry.

I'm really excited to be here and find fellowship with other believers. Thank you for reading and God bless!
