Okay, I tried to be a Christian, and it worked for a while....UNTIL I went to church....ironic, huh?
I felt rejected, I had went to the church with my friend, and while she talked to a few of her friends, I saw there alone, and NOBODY came up to me...that night I wanted to be welcomed in open arms, as if they were saying "Join us, sister." I felt completely ignored, and that REALLY hurt. If you're not accepted by Christians, who WILL accept you??


AND-
Lately, I've been thinking about death constantly. I've been thinking about Jesus/God constantly...and I told my boyfriend (he's Buddhist). He is totally open to going to a church with me, and even becoming Christian, but IDK why its been on my mind so much lately....especially death, it scares me so much. (I almost said "it scares me to death" but that didn't seem quite right....lol


Thank you for reading this...

To the first part, I understand your feeling about churches sometimes. I have definetely felt that way at some churches and it was awkward and not very welcoming. But, I have also been to some amazing churches that make you feel welcome. It's just that some churches (ive noticed it in particular denominations this is true to). Theres lots of places you can find welcome christians though, look for youth groups and such and be willing to come up to them to. I would say dont give up on God just because of one church and one group of people. And theres a church you can attend online, (I know that doesnt give you the personal feel of church but sometimes people chat and such and it includes worship and everything, it's www.centralchristian.com

About the thinking about thinking about death thing, I think you need to talk to someone you can trust, I dont know exactly what your feelings are and I dont really know if I have any real advice for you. If you still want to talk i dont mind listening, I just don't know how helpful I can be. I know your scared and you say your not really a christian but I say pray about it and know I will be praying for you.

I felt the SAME EXACT WAY my first couple of times going to church! Once i even went to my boyfriends church, and the girls mocked me and called me mean names. Then i went to church with my best friend (my current church) and no one talked to me. It took weeks. I think even though people are very happy others want a relationship with Jesus, we're all just human. I know i can't go up to someone and start talking to them if they don't talk to me first, i get soo shy! Idk, i can't make excuses for anyone.
But Jesus is great, God is great! Since i don't feel that welcome at church all the time i go on here, and it's awesome!

I think about death a lot too, it's soo scary. but if you trust God and you are good to him, you don't have to be worried.. LOL i should take my own advice :S
