Dear Christians,
I found God 17 years ago when I was completely broken by life and admitted defeat, I had shunned God prior to that, and in complete humility I begged God to come to me asking only that he take my troubles and handed my life and my will over to him, never expecting that a transformation beyond my wildest dreams awaited me, I am still enjoying this abundance today, but to my shame I regularly slip below the standards expected of me, hanging on to resentments and anger, and getting them out and polishing them, I am asking to be involved in this community now, as an alternative to being on social media during lockdown and finding endless ways to get sucked into more anger and hate, I am reading my Bible and praying, but also wish to be surrounded by people with who are on the same journey, I don't know my Bible well, and am not a Church goer, but I'm hoping this will be a step in the right direction, I pray you will accept me, and influence me in ways of kindness and wholesomeness.
Yours faithfully,
A sinner.

Thank you, During lockdown in the UK, we are not allowed out for anything except essentials and exercise and only locally, so I go walking every day, but my walks remind me of my life journey without God, we live deep in the countryside, it's not spectacular, but if you know where to look it's beautiful, and so close by, in fact all around me, however I didn't know where to look, and it took lockdown for me to even look at all, there is one walk my husband has been telling me about that he goes on that is very special, but whenever I try to find it, time and again I get lost, I take the wrong turn and get bogged down in mud and find myself at a dead end unable to get through surrounded by brambles and having to turn back, yesterday I asked my husband to show me the way so that I might be able to find it myself next time, and he did, it was a long and difficult journey with many twists and turns that are not obvious, but he lead me to the most beautiful valley, with crystal clear Brooke's and streams just like he told me that were right on our doorstep, and once on the dewy grass, my muddy feet were cleaned, it was there all the time and I never knew it!

So many people have tried to lead me to God in my life, and so many times I shunned them, thinking I knew my own way and it was the best way, how terribly wrong I was, my whole life has been about dead ends till I asked God the way, and I am profoundly thankful every day that he took pity on me, but I need to remember that every good thing I now have is because of him, I never believed God could be so powerful, my life was a desert, and now it is a beautiful garden abundant with fruit since I found him, but there are times when I don't deserve it, I dwell in anger and resentments, and I pray God will help me to see what is beautiful and not be blinded by what is not.
It is a beautiful frosty sunny winters day here in England, and I am going out to find more loveliness with my husband again.
God bless you all, and tell me about your journey to God.
