Hello everyone

[Dbannigan]

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

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.
