Hi all. I grew up in the Catholic church but as I got older I grew distant from my faith. I'm currently going through a very difficult season in my life and that has found me rediscover my faith and I feel closer to God than I ever have. I'm feeling very excited today. As I was praying this morning and asking God to help me, I felt the Holy Spirit during my prayers for the first time that I can remember. It was an amazing feeling and really what I think I needed right now. While I still see a lot of difficult days ahead, for the first time in several years I feel like I can make it through with His help.

Welcome my friend. Your introduction is inspiring. I can relate to your experience. I only recently rediscovered my faith after being saved as a teenager. I was under the misguided impression my responsibilities as a Christian were over or something. Luckily God has patience and waits for those He calls. It's great to see you here. Your honesty helps me reaffirm my faith. Thank you.
