dragongirl42391 eies3 Hi, my name is Eileen and i made this forum so that people could share they're own Christian journies. They can be as long or as short as you want, it YOUR story. My story starts off before i was even born. My parents we in a small church that had only started off but had around 10 stong believers. Then it grew all of the sudden. So thats the foundation of my Christiany then i was brought up into the community, being the babyi didnt know what was going on but Gods presence was still there. I started growing up and when praise and worship was happening i just sat next to my parents watching and wondering what on earth was going on. Then we took a break from the group, my parents never told me why but we stlil kept the faith going. With family rosary and prayer and the usual sunday mass. I then became an altar server, oit was weird because girls were not usually altar serving then. I altar served for about 8 years, i still do now but not as often because im doing other things during mass. Then we returned to the group, and what a change that was. I made so many new friends and met old friends. Then the group started a Childrens Bible Study group. At first we totally didn't want to go, but then we grew to enjoy it. I was now not afraid to say to people, hey im in a Childrens Bible Study Group and not be ashamed of it. It really made a change in my life. Then the time came when i grew too "old" for the childrens group and joined the Youth Group. What an even more enormous change that was. My friends and I were the first people to move from Children to youth with-in the group. Youth was the biggest change ever. I can;t imagine my life with out it. It was when i first attended a Youth camp at the start of the year. It was the funnest and best experience of my life. What really inspired me was the music. It was the most sensatoinal experience that i can't explain with words. Then i attended montly youth groups sessions and youth seminars and even started listening to the talks during the family sessions. My biggest change was from becoming a child into one of the leaders for the children. I now help out with the Childrens group. I even started a band who play some of the songs from the group at school hopefully to inspire students one day. That's my story for now and now my biggest goal is World Youth Day in Sydney. Im from Melbourne so yeah. I'd like to hear other people stories because i think that a Christian Journey can only be your and God's alone. God Bless all!!! OH My gosh, another girl altar server like me!!! xd xd xd Yeah, I've noticed a lot of Christian artists coming from Austrailia, God must really be moving down there! mrgreen *laugh* really your one too...totally cool...and i do believe that God is moving in my life in Australia but trust me in others peoples lives they dont see God at all...i just pray for it to get through to Australia during the World Youth Day in SYDNEY here in Australia which should be a real life changing experience

one of my biggest ordeals was with an allergic reation to prednisone for my asthma flares.
So....i was on the meds for about a week while on them the medicine gave me a very rare allergic reaction(as of what the doc said)....depression. So obviously there is something in the meds that can mess with brain neurons and make them chemically imbalanced.
My grades started to drastically drop....and besides that my relationship with the Lord as well started to decline. I had this effect 4 about 2 months and for the majority of that time i felt sooo bad that i had thought i had committed the "Unforgivable Sin", thats right blasphemy. Then one sunday i got called to sing in the ensemble at my church and my mom had the solo for that song. We were singing God is still on His Throne. thats when i started to become delievered. then we sang He is Lord thats what really brought me to my knees.
I read in the Bible that made me realize that i had not committed the unforgivable sin and as of exam week my grades have risen over 30 points!!!!! and my relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ has returned back to normal. These past few months have been a real rollercoaster ride and was probably the hardest trial ive to go through, but the lesson i learned out of this was that you're never alone and that " I can do all things through Christ, who strenghtens me!!!!!"
