Hello! I have been living life in the "fast lane" and it just caught up to me last week. I've made a lot of bad decisions and choices in my life and my husband was just arrested for something that I know he didn't do (and have witnesses that he did not do it, either). This is all because of people who live in sin and are overwhelmed with greed. My husband and I have decided that we need something stronger than us to help us during this time and for the rest of our lives and have decided to start going to church and living a better life. I really feel like this was God's way of telling us that the life we were leading was not productive or positive, and not the path that he had chosen for us. I am so happy now that he is trying to have me lead a better life, and I'm so glad that I opened my eyes enough to see it. Although what my husband and I are going through right now is terrible, it almost feels like a blessing in disguise - a way to repair our lives and our marriage and see what truly is important in life, because we had been too concerned with material possesions and things that in retrospect, are not important at all.

I was just wondering what my next step should be. Can anyone reccomend a good bible for someone who is new to this? Any good web sites to visit? Any good churches in Phoenix, AZ (prefferably for young married couples although I would be going alone for the next month or so) or anything else you can offer me for advice. I could not be more happy that this happened and I appreciate all your help!

Praise God, What a story. You sound so relieved. You are amazing with the right attitude. We sure can get ourselves in a mess, but to God it is so simple. Leave it and follow me. May you walk in His peace. Two links first one how to become a christian.

I have a link for you.

http://www.usachurch.com/arizona/phoenix/churches.htm

If you click on that, it will take you to a page, where you can pick the type of church you're looking for, in Phoenix, and it will give you a list of them. Then you can find one near where you are. I hope this will be helpful.

In the meantime I am praying for you and your husband. I'm so happy that you found your way here. Please let me know if I can help you in any way, with navigating the forums, or just to talk.
