Hello all, just thought i would introduce myself. I'm Esh. I stumbled accross this site in the last few hours and have been browsing it for a while. I must say that I am impressed.

I'm a 21 year old christian. I have been a christian for as long as i can remember. I've grown up in a christian home with loving parents and a younger brother and sister. I have been struggling with a few things for a long time. That is acccually what brought me to this site. More on that at another time.

i have just recently come back to my church and am now involved in an LDG (Life Development Group) They help me through a lot and I am very grateful for them. I have noticed that I am missing somthing though... an intimecy with God. I am starting to build up my relationshp with him again. It is just going to take a while. Reading and praying are somthing that I am currently working on.

I am currently coarting(for lack of a better term) a wonderful young woman that lives about 500 miles away from me. I met her online and it has stayed that way for now. We plan on meeting at some point. She is a strong christian and has the same foundation as i do, a strong christian family to support her.

One of the things that I have been struggling with(less so since I met her) for the last couple of years in Porn and masturbation. I know that it is wrong and i feel it in my heart everytime i stumble. If fact I just stumbled last night. I'm going to have to tell her that i stumbled. Thats going to be rough on both of us.

I know a change in me has got to accure if I'm going to beat this thing permimently.... Its just getting to that point of saying "yes I finally have beatin it" that is going to take a while.

Anyway that is me. My hands are starting to hurt so I'm going to stop typing this intro for a bit. Thank you for listening.....

-Esh

Welcome to CF. It is really easy to get around this site. I only used the FAQ just find out what some things were or how they worked. Tip: Dont play a game or do a quiz unless u are absolutely sure u wanna do it and use up 10 blessings or else u will lose them for not doing anything and if you accidentally hit ok just hit the X of the window and just go back to CF.com and start over, instead of hitting the back button and not getting ur blessings back. it is a rip off. but have fun - start posting u'll need them:)

Hello and welcome to Christian Forums.

Isn't this just the most wonderful place!?! There are a lot of places to explore. The first place you may want to start out with is the FAQ area. This is very helpful when starting out here.

Hope to see you posting in the forums soon. ^_^

Hey Esh! Welcome to CF! Really glad that you found this site! I hope that through discussions and reaching out to other Christians that the Lord will open up many doors for you and shut those that are hindering your relationship with Him. Remember you can't change yourself but with the Lord He can change you. Continue to pray for that which you stuggle with and I will keep you in my prayers as well. I hope that things work out for you and I wish you all the best! God Bless always!

What up Esh,

Hi I'm Dan, I just registered today, b/c I was trying to look up a song and this forum is the closest I have come. The lyrics go :Break me touch me again and I will surrender all I am, break me and the tears of my heart will fall again"

if you haven't got a clue, thanks anyway. God Bless

Welcome, and may you be blessed and fulfill what you need! ^_^

Praise God there is such a place as this. You may wish to explore the FAQ first.

This makes an opportunity to make understanding with our brothers in Christ of differing denominations. Perhaps with understanding comes acceptance and love, or at least knowledge of reasoning. May we all reason throughout the Scriptures with boldness and love.

May God Bless you!

:prayer:
