My History With Jesus
I love Jesus and I'm not afraid to shout it to the world! I have been going to church since just about as long as I can remember! I had become a true believer about five years ago, and was also baptized four years ago as well. I have been walking with Christ for a few years now, and still have yet struggled to explore the Bible. until I started a small group near the beginning of this year and did a bit of reading here, and there from 2012-2015

2012
I stay home, and play on the computer a lot. I also play with my little sister, and enjoy writing about games I play online, and other ideas that pop up into my head! I currently am really interested in this Bible Study, as it's helping me to explore the Bible, and even though it's simple, I haven't pulled my Bible out in about three months, so this is pretty significant!

2015, Now
I feel as though the past few years, I have matured in faith, I was on the computer less, became better in social settings, started inviting friends to church, and volunteering more often at my church. I left the year 2012 up because that was when I originally joined here and I think it would be interesting for me personally to see how I've grown. I know I've asked more questions explored more, have helped bring friends to church, and currently am working on bringing one to faith!

I plan to edit things later on and be more clear about everything and keep all my old profile info for reference.

My Faith
I would consider myself maturing (but honestly you always are no matter how intense or long your walk with God has been!) I considered myself a Christian in about 5 years ago in 2011/2012 time frame. I have always gone to church m,y whole life which is why that date is somewhat fuzzy for me. I was baptized in March of 2012 on a Sunday morning. I am still growing, reading my Bible more often, have gotten around 5 friends to come to my church and have connected with 3 Christian girls at my school, one of which ended up going to my church about a year ago, and have had a great time talking through lifes scenarios with them. I currently host a small group with the help of one of my adult friends from my church and he gladly orders us pizza every Sunday evening as we get to talk about and read the lords message! I have yet to bring a friend to Christ by inviting them to church but I do have a friend who is on the verge. I'm very excited for his future! I for the past two years now have been going to a statewide church conference called district blitz, they have great worship, a powerful speaker, and this past year an awesome artist. I cannot wait to go next year! I would have to say as a Christian I am a non-denominational believer because I don't know specifics of every branch and agree with the primary message of the Gospels about Jesus's life and Resurrection. I asked my youth pastor once what is the best version of the Bible (as an English only speaker) and he gave me the reasons why various versions worked best, I stuck with English Standard Version (ESV) for being closeness and for being most accurate.
