A New Life in Christ...

I have recently become a Christian again, (and I mean very recently; a couple of months ago) and I just cannot believe the amazing sense of peace/joy that I feel daily. This is not to say that every day is perfect or that I don't struggle at times, for I do. And yet even the struggling is a different, more positive kind of struggle. I feel like I'm finally struggling with purpose; to be closer to God and to know Christ personally and this purpose just makes struggling rewarding. :-) Before I became a Christian again, I always felt like something was missing. My heart was aching almost every day and I was struggling against myself and against God's will for me. I feel ashamed to admit it, but I doubted God and doubted his love for me...Sometimes it still hurts to look back on those times and to remember the pain I tried to deal with on my own. But ultimately, I look back on these struggles and on this pain and am thankful. God taught me the hardest, but most necessary lesson of my entire life; I cannot live without him and, more importantly, I don't ever want to try again.

I know this isn't directly related to the posts, but I felt compelled to share this. :-) I hope you all are having a  beautiful evening!~ Thank you for this blog space and your support/friendship!
