Hello all...
I'm both new to the forum and a relatively new believer. I found God about Christmastime last year after about ten years of struggling to find religion. I've tried almost every alt-religion out there for at least a little while- from wicca to buddhism to hindu... I even managed to convince myself that there was nothing wrong with satanism for a couple of months once!
When I met my boyfriend of two years, who is a devout Christian, we started going to church together and I decided to try Christianity, but as bad as I wanted to, I couldn't believe. I read every Christian book on the library shelves, I took long nature walks that helped me clear my mind and think about it, I even bought an Ichthus ring and put it away with the determination that one day I would be able to wear it, that I'd eventually believe what it stood for.
Then a few days before Christmas I was driving to Wal-Mart of all places and suddenly felt God's presence and realized He really is a loving God without whom I wouldn't be as happy, content and in the right place as I am now, and I started crying in relief for finally having found God after a year of intense struggle and another decade before of inquisitive searching.
So, that's my story all summed up, and I'm here on this forum because I've recently become really fed-up with the close-minded bigots that exist elsewhere on the Internet. I'm hoping to find a community here that better fits with my beliefs.
Thanks for reading,
Kaylin
