Been about 13 years now I think, only just beginning to understand things (I think) It feels as if though I thought I once understood things, turns out I really didn't.
I still fully don't understand my position in Him, yes I see the texts in His Word, but grasping it in your soul and spirit is another thing.

It takes a great deal of humility to admit something like that not a lot of people-at least not as many as there should be would have that kind of humility to admit that and this is the first step in him really being able to teach us.
No one will ever fully be able to understand his word no matter how long they have studied or how good they are at understanding it because it is an endless process of learning but this is why it is so great you can read the bible a thousand times over and still learn something new, it sure isn't boring that is for sure.

We become a Christian, when we surrender to God heart and soul
I did not become a Christian until my late thirties. When a friend,
A Christian friend invited me one day to come to church with Him. I went
because he was a friend and I had nothing to do. By that one time of saying
yes, God took over my live. Not all at one time of course but over a course of
many years. We do have to accept a little bit of teaching to help our formulation.
I suggest you do read some scripture, some knowledge is necessary but what you
do read, read it and feel it in your heart just as you are talking with your best friend.
Don't read it strictly for knowledge as Christians were born with Christian parents
and are brain washed. They go to churches and they get brain washed and most
never learn and know God intimately. The remainder become puppets and study
the bible as a part time career so they can argue over it day after day. Read it with
peace and love in your heart so can come to a place for the maximum you need to
know is Love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. Jesus
Christ Himself said That is my only commandment to you. It is good for your
soul to read scripture now and then to stay in touch. I don't believe you need to
find a church. Jesus was talking directly to us. If we are serious about being a
Christian we trust Christ and Christ only, everyone else has their own opinion.
God bless you and know that He loves you with all His heart. May His peace
and love be with you forever.

In a way I am grateful I had no one to teach me how to be a Christian when I was saved, I mean sure I knew the basics but only because of what is generally taught but once you become saved the kind of believer you become begins to get a lot deeper and more vital. Even to this day I have had to wing it with him going to him for everything I enjoy sermons and teachings but I also know his voice and that actually is a thing that is very important and lots of people will teach how to do it but in all honesty it is not a thing you can simply teach we have to learn it and know how to recognize by drawing closer to him day by day.
I could write an entire book on listening to his voice as it is one of my favorite topics and I am a writer at heart but no book can truly teach this even the bible can only give you guidelines you have to learn these things by going to him and drawing close to him. it is true that at the end of the day everyone has their own opinions and their own ways of doing things and viewing things but I think one thing that we all can agree on is the importance of that closeness and intimacy with him that is the foundation and building blocks to growing him in all areas.

Well sadly this testimony isn't a very happy one it was one with a lot of struggles and being the only Christian in my family even now is not easy. No one in my family listens to anything I say when it comes to anything especially with matters of God they seed is planted but the soil isn't ready to recieve it and maybe one day it will be but at the moment you guys here are all I have for a christian family

Read the Beattitudes, Brother:
That is basically saying, Blessed are those who STRUGGLE, for theirs is the Kingdom of God!
Nowhere did God claim this life would be a walk in the park. He was specific when He said, the world HATED ME FIRST and it will hate us because of Him!
Struggling is a good thing. It's like a thermometer indicating you are on the right path in God!

Yeah sadly that is the state of things, even when I was young I was diagnose with mental issues and was sent to a psychologist and my family knows I have brain damage and so they just assume I am mentally borken so sending me to (get help) in some kind of mental ward was their first thought, sooooo ya there is that XD
