Chris, one thing that really helps is to simply tell others what happened when Jesus caught you...tell them of the peace you found, and how amazing you feel, and how you wouldn't trade Jesus for anything 
. I assume that most of them know about your background; that you were kind of wild before getting saved. If not, you can explain how much you've changed; most people are really resonated by such a 180 degree turn, especially a sudden one, like it sounds like you had. They may not come around right away, but just tell them, Chris.... it can be frustrating, I know, because you want them to share the joy you've found, but Jesus said to tell them about Him... He knows that they may not listen, at least not right away.
Oh, and don't worry. I'm not stalking you; I just happened to see each of your threads, and thought that I could respond in a helpful way.

I just laughed out loud litteraly at the NO STALKING PART....THANKS GIRL
I've been doing my best to let GODS LIGHT shine. Just about 10 minutes ago a friend I hadn't talked to in a while called me and was talking to me about his problems in his marriage and I know it was GOD who put the words in my mouth cause I straight up sounded like a preacher....this is a big ole mean country boy who drinks moonshine, cusses, spits, fights and you get the picture...I wasn't even afraid to talk to him about GOD and what GOD has done in my life...I think I touched his heart....I'm still praying for him and his marriage cause I know GOD can fix it

That's great, Chris . Tell him how Jesus saved you, and he'll either soften, or stop talking to you completely, generally. The world just can't handle hearing about the Son of God.... Jesus is the stumbling block . So glad that what you said apparently touched his heart....I bet that knowing how you were before you were saved made a huge difference, that this is the same Chris who used to ______(fill in the blank; party, get drunk, etc.).

I guess your right. I was in the mindset that the more people I had helping me out on fb would help others understand some of the things I can't explain to them. This is all new to me and I don't even know anything in the bible yet...I just started reading the WORD OF GOD myself. My friends ask me all kinds of questions that I don't know how to answer and I'm trying not to turn them away from our LORD but trying to lead them to him. Maybe its wrong for me to ask for others to help me out....Sorry
