Hi there. I have a lot of friends that have gone through what you have. I'm so sorry for that. I also know how easy it is to slip away from God. I'm young, but I matured verrry young... so I've had a lot of experience with life. I COMPLETELY know how you feel when you wrote that you grew up with strong christians and it pushed u away. That happened with me, also. I wasn't brought up in a strong christian home, but I attended a baptist high school. It was horrible for me! I wasn't a bad kid or anything, they just made it seem like every little thing was bad. The pastor's son, my boyfriend, was to be home at 9:00 on weekends and he was 19! When I started dating him, I basically said that thought that was a little overboard! His parents forced it onto him. I talked with him and he decided to become saved, but his parents were convinced that it was a fake set-up. It turned me on churches! I've never been to one in my life that has not deceived me. My best advice for you is to try your best... try to stay with your christian friends... as you mentioned some are. My friends are mainly atheists and it's hard! I witness... but it's hard to stay strong. Try your best with the drinking and sex... those are the 2 weaknesses that are hard to stay away from. Good luck... contact me sometime if you want to talk.

*oh, and don't give up easy, as you know.. the devil will try to bring you down as you are trying to walk with God!*

I just really feel like God wants me to go through this. I feel like he isj ust looking down on me in disgust. I want to get baptized again and for the right reasons. Not 5 minutes after i got baptized the last time i was reverting back to sin and my old ways. i didn't change at all, and i feel like i was slapping god in the face. Can i be forgiven?

In a moment, all you have to do is be truely repentant, and don't hold that sin over your head anymore once you ask forgiveness. God will no longer remember and you should not either. You can ask HIM to wash you clean by the precious blood of Christ Jesus, shed on the cross for each one of us. You will be clean of your sins. I think it would be a cause for celebration if you were re-baptized. Bless you.

Jesus died for you my friend. God loves you so much and He wants you accept His gift of His only Son. He does not look down on you with disgust but with a Perfect Love! The fact that you are thinking on these things and have a desire to serve Him means that He is knocking on the door of your heart and He will not leave you or forsake you. And, my friend, because you want Him to forgive you...He already has! He knows your heart! God bless you!

Looks like you've got something in common with God -- He's up all night too.
(j/k)

Seriously, stop psychologically battering yourself. The things that have happened to you are sores. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that. But it's time to allow them to heal; they cannot, if you keep picking at them and making them bleed.

And dude, the 20 - 30's is a time when we're bumming off our parents. Just chill out and recollect yourself; you have the rest of your life to be a working peon. A job and money are not the cure for your feelings, they would only help you run away. Sort through them instead.

Try to remember your dreams, and PM them to me. I'm an amateur, but I can analyze them for you; they may help you get to the root of your feelings :)

God bless you!

Cambria,

it takes time to heal and become whole again....give yourself the time...and continue to have FAITH....believe in the unseen....it can change your life. You've taken the first step back by listening to your friends, he is calling your name...run to him with everything...in HIm, you WILL find peace and joy in your life again.... don't give up...you may have to backtrack a little in your life..but it will all be worth it.

"I will never leave you nor forsake you; I have engraved you on the palms of My hands" Joshua 1:5, Isaiah 49:16

In my prayers, blessings!

Welcome Cambria,


Greetings from a friend in the Lord,

We all struggle and fall short at times. This world was cursed with sin from the start of time in the Garden of Eden. We will have to deal with it until the Savior comes back for us.

I will pray for you, and ask God to help you through. Keep us posted. Let me know how your doing. We all want to keep you uplifted to follow Christ.

keep in the word, pray daily,and give your live over to him.

God Bless you,

Steve:pray:
