I figure since I've been on here a week or so now I might as well introduce myself. My name is Jacob. I'm 17 years old. I've been "saved" since I was 8. Now I grew up in a southern baptist home and my dad is a preacher. I felt a tugging on my heart at 8years old and acted on it. As I got older I met new people and slowly back slid. I'd always come back to Christ but I grew up in a Christian school and wasn't ever really exposed to anything worldly, so when faced with a strange and new situation, half the time I didn't know what I was doing I just did it to fit in. I was first exposed to anything sexual when I got a friend in 7th grade and he talked me into doing some regretful things when I was home alone saying they were good for me and everyone did it and it wasn't wrong. He had me convinced what I was doing by myself behind closed doors was okay but it wasn't. As I got older I read the book Chicken soup for the teenage soul which was like how to be a Godly teenager. When I got to the section dealing with sexual temptation I broke down because I knew now what I was doing. I still struggled with it however for years after. I moved schools in 10th grade to a public school. While there I am constantly exposed to temptations of all kinds. Again I back slid into the sins of my past again. I got a girlfriend which made it worse and I caved in almost all my standards. Finally recently after my first post on here I broke up with her. I am trying to still get her to go to church with me still because she needs it but she still pulls me into temptation. As of just last night I made a commitment to myself and to God to rid myself of worldly temptations. However I am still talking to someone or at least I was, but I'm pretty sure she gave up on me or something so I am currently single. I will stay that way until God places someone into my life or presents me with the opportunity to find someone. Anyways, more about me I play church softball and am an active leader in my youth group constantly trying to further unite what I refer to as my posse lol. I love cars and working on them and I love anything to do With the outdoors. I love helping people In any way I can so if you need someone in your man. Right now I am looking for really anyone to talk to. Single or taken(I promise I won't lead you on or flirt or anything that's not my nature). Male or female preferably the latter because I still have a bad experience and kind of a fear of trying to befriend another guy because of the past but I could give it a chance. I am open for advice giving or just casual chatting. If you are single and want a guy to talk to that's fine by me I'll give advice or talk to you as a friend or acquaintance. If you wanna chat just private message me and we can talk on here or I can give you my kik or number. Until then God bless!
