I got a birthday message from your forum and decided to request my password. I have not visited this site since 2004 and I do not remember any of my interactions, so for all intents and purposes I think I qualify as new. I graduated college about a year ago, and it has been difficult to be as religious as I would like because my family is kind of indifferent to church-going. In some ways I feel it is my fault because I was terrible in church as a child, so my family stopped going regularly.

I also am at a point where I am seriously considering leaving my current denomination, but I know I will be unable to do so at this time. In the past I dabbled in paganism, mostly out of boredom and youth rebellion, and it is tempting to fall back into it because there are chat programs, blogs, and stuff that is easily accessible on the Internet for paganism. In part I am returning to website to see if it can help me stay strong.

Welcome back, so glad you decided to rejoin us all here, it sounds as though you have been having a difficult journey, I pray that the Lord will give you strength to stay with Him and keep strong. He has promised that He will never leave or forsake you however far away you seem to be from Him, the Lord has never left your side. His promises are true, the Lord will help you. Keep close to God and ask him. Matt 7 May the Lord bless your stay here.

Isaiah chapter 40 v 28-31 Please read.

A few people have sent me PMs, but I cannot reply to them because of my low post count. Here is the message I wanted to send:

It is nice to meet you. I am pretty uneasy, to be honest. I am praying, but last few days God seems very distant.

I am also trying to learn how to navigate this site. I have no idea where to post. Can you please help me get started?
