Hey everybody!

I was a pretty constant poster back in my freshman year of high school, of course then was arrogant, a know it all. Though one part of me that I missed from then was my religious side. I am now a freshman at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, I had lost religion somewhere along the way and that's why I'm here again four years later. I thought I could make it on my own and found out very differently. I have struggled with suicide, what some may consider some drug abuse with sleeping pills, failing in academics, and feeling like a failure overall. I remember my happiness in the time I was religious and I want to not only regain that but I want to know God for real this time. I plan on attending church for the first time in four years this Sunday and be born again. I guess why I'm really here is because I want to learn more and I figure this is a pretty good and accessible source.

Thank you all, much love and God bless

Welcome back Dbannigan,
I pray you find what you need. I'm sure God has been waiting on your return, with open arms.
Blessings on the first steps of your journey. 

It's wonderful that you are seeking a real relationship with God now.  It's like any other relationship, you talk (pray), listen (read), and be ready for Him to lead you into a great adventure.  Give your whole self to Him everyday and you will find Him doing the most amazing things through you right where you live. 

Welcome back
