Hi,
My name is Katie, and I been thinking a lot, and most of my thinking has not finally made clear until tonight (Jan 29, 2005). I had a talk with a guy name sammy that I still love, he is my ex i will say. He turned Christain and whe I was talking with him, and he was telling me some stuff, I realized I had no way to counter his sayings, when I dont believe in God, but I believe that there is a life after this but not heaven or hell. Well anyways, after talking to him I told him something finally struck in my head. When I started College this year I got a roomate named Melody, whoms faller is a Minister at her local church, and her family is VERY! religous. Every nigh she prays to god to a girl named Angel, and goes to church every sunday (at the time I hated this thought it was nothing, and stupied to do.. but i am slightly slowly changing my mind on this)... Then I found a guy named Chris, or Christopher, and he was born on Nov. 1, all Saints day. I don tknow why, but I am wondering if this is a calling from God. I dont know what it is, but I am hoping somebody could help me here. I been in a lot of stress and I been asking god from time to time, to give me an answer, since highschool and I think this is the biggest thing I have seen. If sombody could help me I would appriate it... God Bless you all, and I hope you guys can help me see the truth and the light that I know I been waiting to see........ I think this is my calling.
Forever More

angel, what is your heart telling you? it sounds to me as if the holy spirit is working in your life. you know god is real or you wouldnt be asking these questions so just let go and allow god to have his way in your life. ask him to come into your heart and to help you. he will give you a peace that none of us can understand. just ask him to forgive you of any sin that you have had in your life (and he will) and say that you believe that jesus was crucified and died for you and arose from the dead and you will feel a peace. i am praying for you and if you have any questions please pm me. let me know what you decide and how you are doing. with gods love, bill

Hi Katie,

Welcome to CF!

I agree with Bill. God is trying to speak to you. He did the same thing with me, He tugged at my heart for many years before I knew the truth of Jesus Christ. Let me ask you something... Did you notice a difference in the lives of these people who were Christians? Was Sammy a different person (for the better) when he became a Christian? None of us are perfect, but hopefully you saw a change and it was good. That's what Jesus does for us. He washes us in His blood and when we accept Him as our Savior, we are righteous before God. He separates our sins as far as the East is from the West. And remembers them no more. Isn't that awesome? That's why Christians worship Jesus. He gave us eternal life and a relationship with Father God.

Sorry, I just can't help but praise Him. I will :prayer: for you Katie, that your heart will be touched by the love of Jesus. Can you spend some time with these Christians? Maybe attend a church?

Don't know if I've helped. . . feel free to ask more questions.

God bless,

Jill/aka WashedClean

After having a long discussion, my heart has been telling me to choose the right path and I will know the path, nobody will tell me but me I guess you could say. Its like I want to take the gaint leap into Jesus's arms but I just dont know how to jump. I asked Sammy if I had to go to church, because I dont have any way of getting there, and I do not want to go by myself, or with my roomate, becuase we just dont get along. And he told me I didnt have to go to church, just as long as I accept Jesus Christ as my savior, and believed that he was sent through trails for our sins. Let alone that I pray to get everday... Because he told me an intresting story. this is what he said. I am sure you guys have heard of it.
A lady woke up everday, in the morning and gave one min. of her time to pray to God. After she did that she went on her way to do her daily bussines. Then later on the years it was her time to pass away. She went to the pearly heaven gates and looked in the book of life, she was ready to have her name put in there and it was. But what if God forgot to put your name in the book of life, just because he didnt have time to put you in there?...... Then he told me that I do in some point in my day to stop for a min. and pray to him, doesnt matter what time, just as long as I pray to him.
Well right now I just prayed last night and When I woke up I prayed to him again, I didnt ask for his blessings on me, because I didnt want to look greedy, but I asked him to put his blessings on my loved ones. Then to come to me when he has the time, Because that is just how I am, I just want to see everybody happy first then myself. But I am sure God will come to me, and bless me when he is blessing everybody else.


For you Jill, with my friends, yes I did see a tramendous change in sammy. He went from doing drugs, swearing, cuss at his mom, loving heavy metal, and all these horrable things, and then when he left me, he turned into something I would have never thought he would be. We goes to church ever sunday, believes in Christ, he prays, he even told me he was thinking about becoming a Minister.

I know we are not supposed to question God but right now I am just going to and pray to God for his forgivness. I remember when I was little and I asked my mom if we could go to church every Sunday. Not because I wanted to be in Awana and have fun, but because I just felt like I wanted to go, it just felt like there was something missing. When I went, i had fun i memorized bible scriptures and so much more. I did feel some happiness, but when I look back at it I was wondering were is the love I am missing, because i didnt feel like I was getting blessed. I dont know... I just think I need to stop typing and sit back for a moment.

Thank you all for your support! I areally am thankful I found a place like this that can help me. I will pray for you too Jeff as you will pray for me. I will pray for everybody here like I did last night.
Everything is slowly starting to become clearer. And today I am going to be talking to my christian friend about what we both felt and saw. She felt like I came to her for a reason, like she knew this year or last semster, I was suppost to change and she knew I knew it too... which is slightly scarey.
But yes... Thank you all... May God Bless you! You will all be in my Dreams.

Dear Katie, I pray the Lord blesses you and guides you in your quest for truth. As for your friend, the way you can tell if something is from the Lord is by reading the Bible and seeing if the heart of your friend matches what is written there. Does your friend agree with it and live by it? And of course that would need to match what you believe, too. Seek the Lord in His word; if you seek Him in a friend you will always find yourself disappointed at some point becuse everyone has shortcomings, and that disappointment may lead you away from the Lord. But if you seek the Lord in His word, you will know what comes from Him. Many blessings and peace to you on your quest.

:hug:

Hi Katie,

I hope your journey is a profitable one. I do have to say this though, about my journey, which sounds alot like mine.

I was praying for God to give me an answer for many and many years. When I met a christian, I often considered this person to be the answers to my prayers.

All that that did for me is in the long run, ruin my faith and make me angry at God.

The cause. for the mere fact, was that I wanted to see God in other people, that when ever I met someone nice and christian, I was so mislead and destroyed.

I have a feeling that you want to be cared for, by another person, so bad, that you are looking for God in others.

I may be wrong, but that is the feeling I get, and how I was.

My suggestion, stick with God ONLY. If God wants to come to you, through another, in time it will. Concentrate on God, and read about God only, and in time, you will
acheive all that you are looking for.

God Bless.

Im glad what God is doing in your heart. Once you ask Jesus in to you're life, he is always with you, no matter what. You can talk to him any time. Once you recieve Jesus, your name is alway in the Lambs book of Life. I will be praying for you, God Bless! :)

I am trying hard to be who I know God wants me to be. I been doing good, a lot better then most days... just going from an extreme opposite of Christianity (Athiesim)... and waking up one day saying... I am going to be a Christian, is a really hard thing to do... I think you guys couldnt understand how hard it is... So far I broken down 3 days in a row crying, and crying and cry... I was once ready to give up but then Joe, told me not to... that it is hard but he would be there for me, trying to see the better side, the easier side, the funner side of things... And so far he has helped... I am sure you all will too... I thank you all that I found this place and you all as a friend.... I hope I will become fast friends with you all and hopefully someday meet

wow, sounds like an amazing experience!
It is so nice to hear what God has been doing in other people's lives. You're right, we (or at least, I) probably don't know what its like going from Atheism to Christianity...but I do know what its like going from not believing to Christianity. It is truly an awesome experience to finally come into God's presence and to see all that he has in store for you. I'll be praying for your walk with God!
God bless,
Priscilla
