Hi to everyone!
My name is Mark and live in the UK.
I have been sat trawling through the post reading with interest some of the comments and advice given. Having read a number of post decided that I would join this forum.
I'm 48ys old and if I'm honest I struggle with having a Christian faith. I have always felt that there was something missing from my life and a good number of years ago decided to follow Jesus. I have never found it easy, but then again I didn't expect a bed of roses or an easy life! The last few years I have lapsed and even looked at buddisum and did attend a few meetings learning to meditate. I once was invited to attend a Buddist service and if I'm honest I found my self to be very uncomfortable throughout the service and never went to another since. I would love to have a well grounded faith in Jesus but feel that I constantly let him and myself down. The more I tried to be a Christian the harder I found it to be, like I said didn't expect a bed of roses but didn't expect me to be easily led or to constantly fail. My wife is a Christian and plays a part in her local church and has always stood by me, never pressing me to attend church etc. I do know she would be very happy if I returned back to attending church. I do know there must be simlar people whom find it hard being a committed Christian that may have gone on to a full filling life with Christ. I hope that one day it will be me.
Regards
Mark
