Hello. I'm 21 and I've recently been awakened to the light of Jesus. I was raised Christian, but didn't have much inspiration or faith in myself and Christ. It took until reading the Bible recently (for the first time) to open my eyes. I've had all sort's of strange coincidences concerning certain questions I had been struggling with. For almost a week (heavily that week, but henceforth continuing) I felt that God had taken an active role in my life, and was actually giving me the right information at all the right times. It was such an amazing experience and it got me to turn to my Bible. I've so far only read Matthew, Mark, Luke, half of John and Genesis. I've got a long way to go, and a lot of people to whom I need to defend Christ. I'm determined to fill myself with the knowledge of the Bible. The "foundation", which I had been missing.
I'm awake and ready to spread the message of Christ to my family and friends, but this is the scariest thing I've ever done. I recently fought with my sister concerning this. She really means so much to me, that I was just so afraid that she wouldn't want to hear what I had to say. I was right, and the rejection hurt but I'm not finished trying. I am aware that I need to refine myself in many ways, before I can more successfully hold my head up in the face of oppression. That is my current mission. I'm building my foundation, and hopefully I can put aside my shyness in order to stand firm.
So far the only person I've been able to really debate and explain misunderstandings in the Bible with, is a Gnostic friend of my husband's. At first, I was only upset listening to some of the things he would talk about. (At the time I was dealing guilt, I didn't feel worthy of God's love; which had been pretty ongoing for most of my life. Until I picked up my Bible and many things were put into perspective.) I soon realized that not only was my silence unfair to him, unfair to myself, and unfair to the Lord. So he became the first step for me, my first lesson in a sense, to face the rest of the world with this message. My first challenger.
I was pretty sure that I was going to blow up and kick him out of my house. From what I've read just recently, though, it equipped me with just enough info to answer ALL his questions at the time. It shocked me. I wasn't left fumbling for words. And he left with some gained insight, which he informed my husband and I about. Since, I've had one other encounter with him, to the same result.
The question remains, why am I still so afraid of what everyone thinks? Yes, in junior high to high school, I was picked on tremendously and it gave me a thick wall of insecurity. Since, I've met and married my husband, I'm independent, own my own home, and have been working since I graduated, so why can't I shed these fears? This is what I hope to accomplish in reading my Bible completely. That all my fears will be pushed aside so that the true message can shine. I would LOVE to shine for Christ.
Support is all I'm looking for, and hoping to share with others. :)
