Hi all! I'm an 18 year old girl who is totally horse obsessed and searching to get to know God more.
I was raised in a "Christian" home where I understood there was a heaven and a hell and you worked hard not to disobey any commandments but other then that I had no real understanding of Christianity. I started seeing my boyfriend just over eleven months ago and his family has been great in helping me discover more about Christ and about religion. Lately I have found myself in despair and overly grumpy - something I have discussed with my boyfriend at length and he told me that when he has felt the same way was in times that he was struggling with God - and I really believe he is right. Prayer has been such a big help in my life since he introduced it to me more - it really relieves my heart to just talk to God when I'm feeling upset or uncomfortable about something...Anyways...that's the long story short. I have joined this forum because I am still feeling uncomfortable with myself and believe how important it is to have faith and Christ in your life. So, I suppose this will be my first big step towards understanding faith - I have accepted Jesus Christ into my life but would just like to understand more about everything.
I guess if anyone could help me out in general it would be greatly appreciated? Like I mentioned earlier I have a pretty small understanding but just think I will find faith to be such a terrific thing in my life as just praying and telling God that I accept him into my life has been such a relief.
So..I guess that is about it. I look forward to chatting with everyone and learning as much as possible!
