My story with God

I was raised Catholic yet my mother turned me to the occult
( something I did not realize at the time) In my teens years I turned away from faith and religion. After my rebellious years, I turned to New Age. I was heavily involved in New Age practices for over 15 years. Two years ago, I felt compelled to read the Bible. It was a very painful experience initially and I struggled so much with it. I always came back to picking it up and reading it despite my resistance. I began to pray fervently for God to show me the truth. I struggled as I could not recognize God’s presence in my life. On the evening of May 13, 2020, I was overwhelmed with sadness and anguish, guilt and shame about my life and how I had led it. I felt completely rejected and abandoned by God for my sinful nature. I fell to the floor sobbing in recognition of it all. I prayed to Jesus and gave my life to Him if he would only save me. I woke up on the morning of May 14, and I was changed. I felt new! I felt the Presence and I felt my heart which had been numb and in pain for many years. Every bone in my body and drop of my blood wants to live and obey Him now. I am humbled each day and I love reading Scriptures now! A stark contrast to before. Each day I grow more excited to live in God.

Other stuff about me:

I am searching for connection with others believers and followers of Christ as there are very few in my family, work and friends. It would be nice to share my journey with others who will accept and not reject my experiences and my faith/new path/commitment to Jesus.
