I grew up(until 2nd grade)in a non denominational church. Then my mother remarried and we moved to a few towns over...over the years we slowly stopped going to church. Then in middle school I found paganism and decided that this was the 'religion for me'. I went through the years being silly and it wasn't until I was 18 that I realized that what I was doing this whole time was going down the wrong path.
I became a (fair weather)Christian. I still didn't attend church, and I really didn't know what The Word was all about, all I knew was I believed in God now. Fast foreword a few years, I met a girl who introduced me to a Lutheran church. I almost became fanatical about being a Christian. As I look back, I did a lot of silly things, and I got in trouble at work because I was talking to my co-workers so much about religion. Then, in the midst of me being broke, my car breaks down and it cost me A LOT of money I didn't have. So...I blamed God. I stopped going to church, I even stopped talking to my friend all because I was angry.
Then about 1 year later, I had a boyfriend commit suicide, and that brought me back to actually going to church services. Then as I felt a little less grief, I stopped going to church again. Then fast foreword about 2 years later (which was about a month ago) I decided to attend the Saturday night service at my old church. Then I came into some REALLY hard financial times and I had absolutely no where to turn to. Then I felt God telling me to ask my pastor for help (whether it be money or just support) and I did get some help. Its been a really REALLY rocky road to get to the point where I am now. I am still learning so much. I have this wanting to want to know the Lord better and be a good child of God. I'm trying new things and slowly but surely I will understand more and get to know Him even better!
