Hello everyone! My name is Sarah. Ive been in these forums a few times but just now decided to join up myself. Its nice to be able to interact with other christians as I dont seem to come across too many of them these days (very sad!) Its like a breath of fresh air to be able to read and talk about spiritual things for once instead of such worldly things that are on other websites and chat rooms.
A little about me...well to start Im 25 and I live in the beautiful Finger Lakes region in upstate NY. I was saved at a very young age as I had christian parents and was raised going to church every week. I was also homeschooled and didnt have many outside influences. All of my friends at the time were christians and we all stayed out of trouble. Everything was going pretty well in my walk with God up until my late teenage years. To make a very long story short as possible, I fell into sin at about 19 years of age. I was married very young to a soldier in Iraq and during our 5 years of marriage, we both sinned against God and eachother. There were so many terrible temptations and trials we had to face and Im very sad and ashamed to say that those mistakes cost us our marriage. A couple years ago we ended up divorcing. That was a real wake up call to me. I thought I was going to be married to him for the rest of my life and I know divorce is a sin but we both agreed it was the best thing for us. Since then I have really been working on getting my life back together and having a fresh start and a clean slate. Its so amazing to have a God that is so forgiving and wonderful! And Im just so much happier knowing that Im forgiven and I no longer have to live with so much guilt in my heart.
I still have a long way to go before I am back on track completely. Im hoping joining this chat room will help me get in touch with other christians for advice and support. Im also in the process of finding a good church to join. Well enough about me! Im looking forward to getting to know all of you!
