Why...

After having spent nearly 22 years in a controlling and abusive church I began to think that I was going crazy. Turns out I might not have been. But I did realize that it was high time to leave. So my family and I did. Now that we have left what do we do? I don't know, I didn't plan that far. Well okay, let's see what I can do to get my sanity back, or my now shaky walk with God.

So that is basically what happened in April of this year. I decided to get a new Bible and "start over" with my walk with Christ. I was a young child when I started going to MFC (My Former Church) and all I knew then was God loved me enough to send his Son to die in my place. Okay, so I guess starting over means, right back at John 3:16. I fairly quickly found that Jesus didn't look like the representation I saw from my former pastor. I also found that I actually enjoy reading my Bible unlike just a few weeks before. So this is going to be my journey of re-gaining myself and a long lost walk with Christ (even though I went to church all the time and did and said the right things).
