Here it goes....

When I was 12 years old I went to Sunday school and my friends were talking and they were talking about being saved. I read the bible, but I never prayed that prayer and when my grandma asked me if I was saved I would get around the truth. After hearing my friends were saved I went to my grandma's and told her I wanted to get saved. She asked me if God was speaking to me and it was for him. I lied and said yes (I really just wanted to fit in with everyone else) I thought if God forgave us of our sins he would forgive that one. When I was in High School I told my Sunday school teacher I did not think there was a God and that there was no one there. He asked me where this came from and I told him "I don't know".After that I would not go to church and had the same thoughts.We had a lot of new Sunday school teachers and I thought they would not even notice me being gone. Later at church camp I heard this speaker say he was saved twice because the first time he was not really saved. After my friend for over 13 years and I were walking back to the dorms and I asked her if someone could get saved twice and she told me no that you only get saved once. We talked more and one of my teachers there came and wondered what me and my friend were talking about and i told her "Oh nothing" and she said "Is it serious?" I told her nope not at all and my friend goes it is pretty serious and she took us to the bleachers and I told her the story. She told me I should tell the guest speaker and he was watching the basketball game with his son and he left his son and talked to me. I told him the story and he told me from what I was telling him I was not saved and that I could change that if I wanted to and the time was right and I told him it was the right time and I got saved!!

Sorry this was long!

Thank you for sharing that, Ali. Living for Jesus is the best! Believe me. I've walked in the world, and it's full of pain and betrayal. With Jesus you have loyalty, peace and love forever. Keep reading the Word and praying. There is more for you. He has an awesome plan for your life! I'm so glad you are on the right path. Stay on it always, ok? :)

Hey! Me again! Thanks for the support! I fell off my path. There for a bit I did not even know if God was really there or even listening. Even though I had those feelings I prayed about it. I prayed that God would help me and yesterday those prayers were answered!! I was upstairs with the kids in 1st grade and the lesson was about God and the plague (I hope that is right) and when the teacher said that God was the great I am then it worked on me. So here I am back on path!! I feel better now that i am walking with him and not against him!!

Hows it going? Any Better? Here are two verses that have helped me out a lot..

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." - Matthew 7:7-8


"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

or you can try doing what the verse Matthew 6:6 says
But you ,when you pray go into your room,
and when you have shut your door,
pray to your Father who is in the
Secret Place; and your father
who sees in secret will reward
you openly" . thats out of the NKJV ( New King James Versen)

It is getting to the point where I am tired of trying. I am just to confused I am tired of trying and wondering who to talk to. Maybe I am over thinking things.

I am still tired of trying! I just want to tell everyone at church i give up that i want to live my own way, but something holds me back and tells me to keep trying and be made stronger. I am torn between the two.

I am in a HUGE struggle now! I am lost and I have no one who can help me I feel. The person who I told has made fun of me. I do not like this... where do I go? who do I talk to?
