Welcome!
I guess this is my official Christian Blog! I am excited to start this because I am a writer and was looking for a positive, Christian platform to share my story. I am a nursing student in college and I just came back to faith. I always had a desire for a deeper relationship with God, but now that I am finally out of the house I feel like I can have my own opinions. I was baptized Catholic, but after my parents divorce was forced away from that. Religion became just another thing to fight about, it hurt both sides of my family. I wanted to be Catholic because I was raised being told I couldn't be and that I wasn't. I did not get to do CCD or any other traditions because my mother was too concerned about being bitter. It came down to one day, telling my mother I did not want to go through with being confirmed Protestant (a process at my church claiming you want to join them). I did not follow or understand or even enjoy the churches practices. I begged my mother not to force me, but she did. About a year later this same church bullied my church teach, who just came out. This completely ruined my relationship with the church and more importantly my relationship with God. I was completely disheartened and lost. At college, I was finally free. I discovered that I want to be non-demoninational. I go to youth group every week and finally found the modern church for me. I still have a way to go, and that is why I have this blog. I hope my stories will motivate and influence other people. God has given me so many good things and I cannot think of a more powerful way to share his love than embracing what I have to others.
