Hello, My name is Sarah, I am 30 years old and I am going to school to become an Administrative Assistant.

I have been a Christian for about 10 years now. I have been going to the same Church for that whole time. I am very active in that church, and I regularly sing on the Worship Team.

About my screen name, a lot of people mis-interpret that. I call myself "Freak Conformist" online (yes, you can call me "Freak") because of some of my political views. I am not a conservative republican, nor am I a liberal hippie, but I have some conservative values and some liberal philosophies. For example, I don't believe in abortion, but I do believe in funding arts in school. I am proud of the fact that I have considered the issues and came to a conclusion on my own. I am currently considering goverment health care, for the time being I think I rather have crappy health care now then die because I never had health care in the first place.

Despite this, I don't get into political, or religious, arguements. I've had enough of that on yahoo, and generally if you're arguing you've already made up your mind so there is really no point. And yes, because of this mind set I make a crappy evangelist. XD
This does not, however, stop me making a judicious comment where I think it's needed. I like to think of myself as a voice of reason sometimes. This is actually where the "Freak" part comes in because more time then not I think about the issue from odd angles and my insight can come from left field sometimes. Other then that I am a very mello person.

I do do "art", but I do not call myself an "artist", drawing is my hobby not my profession. Ocassionally you can get me to do a doddle or something, but I really have to be in the mood and I tend to put it off if I don't feel like it. Thus the reason I am not a professional artist.

Umm, that's all I can think of for now. No doubt you'll get to know me if you talk to me. I have no problem sharing the intimate details of my life. Just don't ask for my Social Security Number.

Welcome new members ^_^ I know I only joined a little while ago and most likely considered too young to know or to help but I would love to try ^_^ If anything else, just somebody to talk to. May Jesus bless you all.

My name is Justine (Just-een is the pronunciation, just in case anyone thinks otherwise.)
I am 13.. and a half... From a small town in Ohio. (And I mean small. we're practicly only a village. o_O)
I have three older sisters and a brother. I'm the youngest. Umm. I tend to hide away my feelings and then snap at the smallest thing so I'm sorry if I do that to anyone, please forgive me in advance.
My walk isn't very far along yet... Sice I'm still very confused in everything and I'm probably not ever considered a "real" Christian, though I am thinking and questioning it hard. I started in a catholic church, and we just changed churches... (a biiig change for me. I'm so very confused) And I'd love for your help and support as I continue to struggle through this time in my life, since I'm dealing with alot of friend changes and trying to get on the right path.
Thank you. ^.^

Don't worry yourself, Justine. It's pretty common for a "new" Chirstian to be un-sure of thier place in the grand scheme of things, ditto for 13 year-olds. So I'm not surprised you don't feel like a "real christian". The good news is that you don't have to "feel like it", you just are! Just by believing and proclaiming that Jesus is Lord you are a "real Christian", because God accepts you where you are at and not where you think you should be. That goes for 10 day old to 10 year old "real Christians". Praise God, right?

Note: Moving from a Catholic to a Protestant (any Church that is not Catholic) Church can be confusing. There are a lot of difference, but don't be discouraged. Just know that God loves you and learn as you go.

Hi I'm Natalie.. I'm 20 getting ready to be 21 in November..

I was saved as a teen and was really into church and different functions on the church. Now not so much.. I have faded off the path that I wanted to take when I was this age.

So far I have been trying to get myself back into church now that I have found one that I enjoy so much and trying to surround myself with different religious activites and such.

I have 2 sister's.. One of which I am not speaking to at the moment. I am the oldest and I still believe that I have always been the responsible one. smile

I am engaged to be married and I want my marriage to involve God and Christ... I want that to happen because I love my fiance so much.  

[Monkeynathan]

Don't worry Justeen, Just remember that God will show you the way. I don't really consider myself as a "Christian". I believe being Christian is to be like Christ, our savior. My problem is I am still figureing out what "being like Christ" is. Don't be discouraged by new things, anything and everything now may be needed for what God has planned for you. I lack confidence in what I am doing. sweatdrop Not sure if I am doing what is neccesary for the plans for me. So I understand if it feels like you are unsure of what to do. All I can say is advise I should take sweatdrop sweatdrop

Hi, I'm Myuuli, but call me Myuu if you'd like.
I'm from Florida and I am 16. I love the arts, whether music, fashion, or just drawing in general. I've believed in God as long as I can remember, although my religious path has been rough at times. I'd love it if someone were to have religious views with me because I don't know a lot of teens who are religious anymore. sad

Welcome Justine, Natalie and Myuu!!!

Hello my name is Emily but you could call me Em, my screen name Skye or my alternate personal Jahzara. I was saved about a year ago and I'm trying to go to church but transportation is an issue. I thought of suicide a few times before I was saved and now that I know God is with me I feel better.
