Re: let us know you are here

Welcome newlyborninChrist!! I am so glad that you are here and for BigRitchie sending out the invitation! Thanks for sharing your testimony with us. You know, it sounds like Yahweh had a plan for you to be at this point in your life and that He chose you at a very young age. It just took some time, all in His plan, for you to really cry out to Him and seek Him. I think that is why we go through trials...so that we seek Him for help and know that He will help us get through them.

I too, am pretty new to being born again...almost a year now. I was going through a very rough divorce at the time. I finally just gave it all to Him and asked for Him to help me, because I couldn't do it on my own...I needed Him in my life. This was the night that I was baptized. My life changed that day and my outlook on EVERYTHING! I can't tell you, the weight that I felt lifted off of my shoulders, when I came out of the water. I truly believed that I was giving my life to Him...handing over all of my problems for Him to help me with. The next day, I felt like I was walking on a cloud, I can't even describe it. I was so relieved to have Him in my life and take over.

I have been a Believer in Yehushua, for as long as I can remember. There have been several times in my life, that I was seeking Him and felt being drawn to Him. Then, after time, I would fall away, by my own faults. But, He has been patient with me and always tried to reel me back in. I am so thankful for that and especially that He brought me back, to my first love, before it was too late. So, to me, I think that so many of us were chosen and He is just waiting for us to truly come back to Him. Remember, He knew us before we were even born!

Now, I didn't get back with my ex like you. There was just too much physical and mental abuse with him and I don't feel that Yahweh would want me to stay in that relationship. But, Yahweh did help me by winning the battle over keeping primary custody of my children. My ex and I had to go through psychological, IQ tests and home visits of a psychiatrist. I am so thankful that my prayers were answered for this battle. Sure, we still have minor battles now and then. But the custody battle was big and I knew deep down in my heart, that I didn't have to worry about it. I knew that He would take care of it for me and He did and continues to do so!

You are going to be so happy to be here! You will learn so much on this forum about the Truth in the Bible. I welcome you here and look forward to your posts and questions. Just like armorbearer said, post any questions that you have. Several here are new, just like you and probably have had the same questions or will in the future.
