Re: let us know you are here

i am glad to be here. it is refreshing to find people eager for the truth.
i didn't grow up in church, but as a child i wanted to go.
i felt like i was missing out on something.
my parents finally decided to go when i was a senior in high school.
so that is when i got baptized.
for a while i kind of resented my parents not raising us in church or for not having a bible in the house
(other than children's bible stories that i don't remember ever reading),
because i felt so ignorant of "jesus" and "god".
i started seeking in my twenties but i was really too preoccupied with having a good time
(dance clubs, music concerts, etc. ).
i would read scripture (didn't really understand it though) but never went to church.
i worked with some jehovah's witnesses at two different jobs throughout my twenties.
they were really my first teaching. i don't understand why yhwh exposed me to that.
in my thirties i started to attend a middle of the road non denominational church but i still wasn't really learning anything.
but by my late thirties i just delved into scripture and prayer and would go for long walks to pray.
that is when i turned my whole life over to him and started actually changing and growing.
however, in my eagerness, i got involved with the whole charasmatic hoopla and got way off.
finally in my forties,my eyes began to open and i came out of the church about 2 years ago.
i am 43 now and my husband and i both are studying the torah and learning about the ancient hebrew
language and customs.
i am so glad now that my parents didn't raise me in church,
because i have had to unlearn all the false doctrine that i have been exposed to.
now i want to be a clean slate and sit at the feet of yahushua to be taught the truth in torah.

truly there is freedom in torah.
