THE WELCOME THREAD

Welcome to The Way: A Christian Guild! I'm very happy you're here, and I hope you are too.

This is the place where you can introduce yourself. To the best of my ability, I will personally welcome each and every new member. You can tell us as much or as little as you want about yourself.

Not sure what to say? Here's a list of things for you to consider:

1. What do you like to be called?
2. How long have you been on Gaia?
3. Are you a Christian?
4. If so, how long have you been a Christian? And if not, what are some of the reasons you aren't?
5. Do you have a favorite Scripture?
6. What are some things about Jesus that you really like? Anything you find challenging?

Again, I want to wish you a very warm welcome. I will try to greet every new member personally as I am able.

I'll go first! Welcome everyone, I'm Elora!

2. I started Gaia in 2003 but got hacked within a few years and thus went on a very, very long hiatus until end of 2025.
It's been interesting to see what has changed-- and how much has stayed the same!

3. I am a Christian 3nodding

4. I was raised in a Christian home and walked away from God during high school. I am in my late 30s now and every day I am thankful that ten years ago the Lord Jesus drew me back to the peace of knowing Him.

5. I can't say I have a favorite, different parts of scripture have been instrumental for me at different stages of my life. In today's world I find Philippians 4:8 is a good one to reorient my thoughts.

8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

6. I love that Jesus has been patient with me my entire life of "kicking against the goads" and "lowing all the way to Beth-shemesh" xd

For most of my life I have found it challenging that the Father really loves me. A lot of this stems from human relationships, and the Lord has really been helping me as I wrestle in this area.

I'm excited to get to know everyone! If you are someone who prefers to lurk and is timid about posting but still wants to connect, feel free to PM me. ^^

Welcome to the guild!

I've been on Gaia since 2006. I left in 2017 but returned off and on starting in 2022. Now I intend to remain consistent.

I've been a Christian for as long as I can remember. Bumps and rough edges along the way. But always walking with Jesus - thanks be to God. heart

I'm glad you're here! 3nodding
