hello all, i am new to this site and am wanting to start talking with other christians about God and also to seek guidance. I am a married mother of one and was saved nearly 8 years ago in a program called Teen Challenge. I backslid quite a bit after i left the program but have never forgotten the love of God and how much peace i had to walk beside him. I know that i have fallen quite away since i first found salvation. My biggest challenge i feel is the fear i have that those around me will judge me or see me as a hypocrite as they have only known me as the person i am. I know that i should fear God more than i do others but that is not my current reality. I have a lot of obsticles to tackle before i think i will feel the way i did all those years ago when i was walking so close to God, but i want to get back to that. It has been a very hard road ive been on and things aren't looking up. I need God! I have always needed him. I want him to be proud of me. I miss the feeling of having his hand upon me and guiding me as i go. I hope this is the right place to start. Thank you for listening.
