I'm very happy that you took that first step. There is more, and it gets more precious as you grow in Christ. The experiences of each person are unique and they become more unique as our personal relationship with Jesus Christ develops. Much depends on how close we want to grow to God and invite Him into our lives. I'm also happy that you are taking classes and studying God's Word. I'll be praying that God richly blesses you as you grow stronger in Him.
Love In Christ

You believe in God, you do well.
But what was the message? What is it that God has declared to you, that you have believed?
Why have your sins been forgiven?
I ask genuinely, to spur to you a deeper confession, inwardly and outwardly.
Many blessing, my friend. |

I'm interested in these sentences. Could you elaborate on what you mean by 'trying to be positive', by 'trying to hold on'?

Sorry. I've been burned way too many times by people who pretend to be somebody else.
Thanks,

I'll just say that I'm praying for you. Make public what you wish - keep private what you wish. Your personal relationship with Jesus Christ is just that - Personal. I will pray that God richly blesses you and you grow stronger in Christ.
Love In Christ,

OK - enough said.
However, could I suggest you might consider some professional counselling.
