New To The Scene

[ProdDaughterNC]

Greetings from Charotte, NC!!!! I'm Shannen and new to doing something like this, so bare with me. My purpose in joining a group like this is to grow and befriend and to open up about what I am facing at this time in my life and hopefully get some God sent answers to what I am battling, which seems to be alot at the momment. Long story short, I accepted the Lord when I was 5, didn't have God fearing parents or "Christian" upbringing nor "Chrstian" role models in my life at all. What I have learned, but not always obeyed is through Christ himself. As my screen name says I am the prodigal daughter all my life I have stuggled with staing grounded in Him, which has done nothing but bring me and to thoses around me heartache. The longest I have stayed in church is 2 yrs. and then something happened to me and I still don't really know what, but fell out of fellowship with God and other "Christains" as well. I kind of have a feeling as of why I fell away, and that was because people were getting to close to me! It's something iI crave, but also fear. SCARY thing to let anyone in my life, and i mean any1! It seems I let people get only so close to me and then I sabotage it someway, shape, or form. But anyway's, here I am lol hiding behind this computer to share with the world the story and difficulties of my so called life. Good luck 2 u in baring with me. I am also "bi-polar" as well..which i hate!!!! So I'm really here I guess to see about getting some emotional healing and boy is that gonna be a tuff road! I'm a runner, not a fighter, I give up way too easily, and I hate confrontation!!! ok u guys thanks 4 bearing with me. In His Grasp, Shannen

Yo Shannen!

Running in fear is a tough thing. I'm like that in some ways as well, largely due to a real bad anxiety disorder. So running is my thing as well. I just put out a prayer to Christ, asking him that he heals you of your bipolar, and that he works in you to give you the strength not to run anymore.

TTFN!

Shannen, I'm very glad you've joined TalkJesus. Jesus came to save sinners, people like you and me. There's a line in an old Andrae Crouch song I want to suggest that you memorize (because it's true) and meditate on: "When He was on the cross, I was on His mind."

Welcome to TalkJesus. we will glorify the name of the Lord here and destroy the devil's strongholds. we fear no man, for we dont walk alone, we walk with Jesus.

i can really feel it when you say you never wanted anyone to get too close yet you still feel like you need fellowship/company if you are left alone. i used to be like that and still got traces of such behavior. but i say to you be Confident in the Lord and you will be amazed!!!!
