Hello, my name is Joseph.

I have been going through some spiritual changes lately. I more recently held Atheist beliefs, but after going through some struggles I decided to pick up a Bible with the idea, "Eh, what can I lose" Since I started reading the Bible, I have been finding myself more attracted to it. Hell, even turning on the "Jesus radio stations" I used to laugh at.

I recently am attending school for Computer Science and have been praying to God to help me manage it as well as my personal life. Since I began prayer, I can't help but notice that they seem to be, well, answered. Given my sense of connection with God, I have become more confused on what I believe. Though, I have to say it is a happy kind of confusion. Like if someone told you that you won a brand new car, but had no clue how it happened.

I have thought about going to a local church, but it sounds uncomfortable. Not because it's church, but because I am reclusive in nature. Not reclusive in a bad way, I think, but generally content when avoiding people.

Anyways, I want to keep this thread "Introduction-y" So I suppose I will carry my questions else-where on the forum -- where might that be? Regardless, just wanted to say hello.

Hi, Joseph, welcome to CF...

That's awesome that you are developing a relationship and are on an exciting journey and adventure with God now...

Awesome to hear... I am a bit more of a recluse as well, not in a bad way as well, I like alone time and I have the same kind of trouble with people and church, but try to make myself get out there and do it anyway, and I am usually glad that I did or do afterward...

Think of getting out among people and going to church as an exciting, thrilling adventure and journey with God as well, and it might help, God does want us to deal with and be around people, and his people as well...

Hope to see you more on the forums...

God Bless!

Well, you're in the right place then, Joseph! Welcome to CF, a place where you can deal with spiritual confusion ... along with the rest of us! :cool:

Peace,
