But I would really and truly appreciate your prayers being sent my way, even if just for a split second. Like I said, I don't want you to think I'm selfish in asking for prayers for myself, but I really do need all the help I can get!!!

Just a quick background: I grew up going to church every Sunday in my family, and when I turned 19, I stopped going, but now, I want to start back up again and find that inner peace again. With all the stresses in my life, that hour of church will help me to gain just a bit of sanity back, even if it's for a total of 75 minutes a week.

I want to find my connection with my higher power, and KEEP IT. The last time I went to church was over 6 months ago, and I felt so spiritually filled, and I want that, and I want to be a better Christian as well. The problem that I have is that I tend to go back to the bad habits and pushing the spiritual healing that I need away and I just regret myself more and more for that.

One thing I found is that I can put myself in a place where God is even if it 75 min a week. I also find taking notes and looking up verses at home is helpful. And the music, well that really is something that really blesses me. Finding a station that plays that kind of music uplifts me all week.
Faith isn't a destination...it is a journey. There is always more to know and experience. With Him every day is new.

Never feel guilty about asking for prayers and/or support.
You are in my thoughts and prayers

Majorly frustrated, Sunny... but thanks for asking How are you doing???

I was always taught that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all... so I'm doing that right now.... even if it might get me kicked out of the pc forum.
