Guess what happened this weekend :D :D :D

Wow, I've just logged on to find my thread is up to 2 pages, thank you for all of your messages and input :) Yes, it was one of the biggest hurdles I had to work through when I converted from my atheism, I had a problem with it for a long time but now agree that yes I am sinner and have made...

I found this in Acts chapter 2... "Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" - this implies that a person gets baptised before a certainty...

It can be a great feeling of achievement when you finally understand how to make something and finish it. I'm a crafty person myself and have tried all sorts to keep me busy and mind occupied - I think that's a great idea and doing something with a friend should help too :)

It's definitely worth seeing a doctor if you have been feeling this way often, or for too long. Winter affects me too, the lack of sunlight makes me feel very tired - it's worth taking a multi vitamin at the same time, as vitamin D needs other minerals to work effectively - and vitamin B and...

Hey goodbook :) It looks like you enjoy cats and (books?) my kind of girl! :) It is very hard to feel alone, especially when those who are supposed to care about you and support you (family) seem to be against you. Have you any friends you could talk to? I find that writing things down can help...

How do I know when this has happened... when I feel I have become somewhat changed as a person? the thing is that I don't know that I will ever know 100% for certain that God exists... unless he float on down here and shouts "hey, Laura, I'm here, look!" and I can actually see and/or hear him...

I like the NIV as it has lots of notes at the bottom of it I want to read up anything extra on something I'm not sure about. I also like the NLT as it's easy to read and really brings out the direct, overall message. I think that it's not important which one you read - as long as it's the one...

It might be as simple as trial and error... I am still trying to find my career - I have a degree which I did not use and is useless which was a horrible feeling. Then I went into retail which I was over qualified for and hated and didn't help anyone or have a 'higher cause', now I'm working as...

Hello Hannah :) I am struggling with the same thing. I have read enough books to believe with my head that Jesus existed and that the bible is reliable and I have been hanging out for something to happen like a sign or a dream which will lead my heart to follow suit. It's been over a year now...

Hello everyone. I am a new Christian (used to be atheist) and am still struggling with my new faith. A few months ago there was a big baptism service at my church and I was asked whether I wanted to go and be baptised, I went to a class about it, but I still didn't feel ready as I felt like I'd...

Hello. It is great to hear that you already feel peace and happiness after praying to God. I am also in a situation where I would like something to happen (such as a dream) in order to finally give me faith in him. I have been praying for this for a long time - a year or more and my faith is...

I have read the new testament, and most of the old testament, and a gillion books about christianity... which didn't bring on any kind of 'experience'. My problem is that I have convinced myself enough with my head, that I think Christ's existence is rational, but my heart just won't accept it...

Hi, I'm Laura - I'm new and have posted this in the introductions forum but feel this will probably be a better place to ask amongst other people who understand what it can be like and have any recommendations based on their own experiences with depression. I'd love to make friends who are going...

Please can you pray for my depression to ease, especially right now as I'm transitioning between meds and feeling ill as a result. Please can you also pray that my tests from the clinic will come back negative for any problems. Thank you.
