His Patience

[CircuitousPath]

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum, and I thought I would share a little bit about myself.

If there is but a single quality that I admire in the Lord above all others, it is His infinite patience. My path to Christianity, as my screen name would suggest, has not been a straight shot by any stretch of the imagination. I have spiraled through spiritual identity after identity, finding a small measure of comfort in the doctrines that I practiced, but never quite finding the sense of peace that should accompany a return home so to speak. Fortunately, He never grows tired of waiting on the wayward, and after many extended hands I believe I've at last taken Him up on His offer.

I'm new to the faith as a practitioner, but I'm abstractly familiar with a lot of the theology thanks to my youth (nominally Christian home) and my own investigations. That means that I'm going to be relying on you guys to turn the fact-based information that I've stored upstairs into something real and applicable to my faith life. Thanks in advance !

Hello

Welcome to Christian Forums!

I am so glad that you decided to join the site. This site is full of wonderful Christians who love to praise God, fellowship and just have a good time. I am sure that you will quickly meet many new brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are wondering where a good place to get started on the site would be, I would recommend that you check out the Edification and Life Stages boards. Edification allows you to participate in Biblical studies, to ask other Christians questions, and to post prayer requests. Life Stages is designed for people to meet and talk to people at different stages in their lives. There are many more options on this site, and if you would like for me to recommend some more for you please feel free to send me a private message.

I would also recommend that you check out the Blessings Exchange. This board allows you to play games and participate in fellowship threads to earn extra blessings, the site's currency. You can use your blessings for such things as purchasing items for your Living Avatar or creating a Pet.

The simplest way to earn blessings is by posting. You may earn anywhere from 5-10 blessings per post depending on post size. You may also get a Job here at Christian Forums to earn extra blessings. All you are required to do is post and collect your salary every week! The more you post, the more blessings you earn. You must have at least 100 posts to select a job. After you start earning blessings, you can deposit those blessings in a savings account at the Christian Forums Bank. By depositing your blessings in a savings account, you are able to collect a 1% interest on those savings each week! I do advise you to only deposit blessings once per week since the timer resets each time you deposit or withdraw blessings.

If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message!!
