Hi all,

I've never been a long standing member of any forums. I tend to consume more than I contribute online. I don't know how often I'll post here because of that but I need healthier pages to browse day to day.

I'm quite new to faith. I entertained the idea of supernatural phenomena a few years ago. It was new and exciting but I was quickly disillusioned by the actual content I could find. Around that time I saw a "try praying" campaign and gave it ago. It was a slow start and I felt awkward about it but each time I tried I felt myself change. Sparing you my life story I eventually picked up a Bible and I've been reading it since.

As much as I want to commit myself to this I'm 28 now and that's been a long time to develop bad habits. I'm getting past them gradually but one thing I think I really need at this point is a safe place to explore ideas where I won't be continually disappointed or dragged down by what I see and read. I think that's mainly what I'll do here, read, and because of that I'm not sure there's much of a point in making an introduction. But I write personally as a habit and I feel that if I'm going to stay here for a while I should at least mark the occasion with a post and not be so rude as not to introduce myself.

So thanks for having me.

Glad you decided to join us!

FYI - I was 30 when I dedicated my life to Christ. That was 30 years ago and I've never looked back.

That's very reassuring to hear, thank you. I hope at some point I'll be able to offer the same reassurance to others.

Welcome to the forums. I know...it could be a lot to take in with these pages. But as along as you tag along with the good people here...you’ll be in excellent hands. Hope to bump into you at some point.

Hi! It’s great to meet you! Post as much or little as you like, you’ll be welcome here equally :)

My grandma was 54 when she became a Christian. That’s the awesome thing. 18 or 80, it doesn’t matter. If other people seem more practiced or confident, it doesn’t matter, and here you’ll find those people are happy to share and help you in any way they can too. Certainly did when I was new here (the first time!).

If you would like to share a bigger introduction about yourself, even if you think you’ll almost never post, please do, don’t think you have to be very vocal to do so. Likewise, if you don’t want to share much now, or ever you don’t have to. We’re just happy you are here :)
