Rebuilding My Faith
|
|
I am new to this. It has been a very long time since I have been in touch with my faith and God. I recently met a nice gentleman who is a freind of my brothers that came over for a family dinner. After several conversations about radom things, the topic of God and the bible came up. My family knows my trust and faith has been tested and tried several times in my life. Prior to meeting this man who impacted the way I looked at life, I gave up on life. About 2 weeks ago I was in my mothers back yard at 11PM yelling into the sky and crying to the point I could not cry any longer. My pain was braught on by my best frined, the man in my life walked out on me during the the time I needed him the most with no reason. I was very angry at God, angry at life, and felt as though I had no purpose.
Marc, the gentleman that came to my brothers house for dinner a few days ago gave me advise, lifted my spirits and helped me look at things differently. Since our conversations that night, I also spoke with him on Facebook about God and the Bible. I needed some form of direction, a place to start, and guidance... so he recommended this website for me to start with...
With this all said, I am reaching out for help and patience as I rebuild my faith. I have never reached out for help before, nor was it offered until I was introduced to Marc.
There is more to the story, but so you understand my anger and frustration....I have been ran over in relationships several times, been deployed overseas, lost touch with friends and family, lost everything I own and stand here with the cloths on my back, my computer and this website...hoping to find a new beginning.
Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read this.

Jami God knows your heart and He wants the best out of you. He has created you and remember God does not create "rubbish", God create beautiful people. You are one of them. Maybe because of people and situations in life that you have gone through you turned your back to God. God is patient, the devil too. God send Marc into your life to help you and I am confident that if you trust in the Lord with all your heart, mind and will, He will guide you and you are able to put the past behind you and start a new beginning. Praise you Jesus for the work you have started in Jami's life.

Jami, your post brought tears to my eyes. I am where you are. I've been a believer for 11 years but the last 2 have been spent in isolation away from Christian fellowship. There were a couple of situations with fellow church members that led me away from the church I was a member of for 9 years and made me discover that I WAS NOT accepted for who I was in that fellowship. I spent a couple weeks at a friends' church and they were reading through the bible in a year. I decided to do it with them, and found the DAB. That was January 2010. I stopped going to church but have listened to the DAB every day. Even so, I have drifted away from my relationship with Jesus to the point that no one even knows I am a believer anymore. These days, I am trying to find my way back. There are many things I still struggle with but I am back at church every weekend, looking for a new place to call my church home. I particularly struggle with not being accepted. Seems that no matter where I am, whether a website or local church, I get rejected. I have some very close friends and a great family but I spend the majority of my days isolated and alone.
