Hi everyone,
I came here in search of finding good people to talk to. I'm a young person growing up in this technology based era and spend a lot of time on the internet. I'm finding more and more things on the internet that are hurting me. Poems and pictures of sad things people post. People talking about how there is no God and there is nothing they can do to help themselves. I feel my mind has been poisoned with these thoughts and just typed in Christian Online Groups into google and this is the first thing that popped up. No one here knows me and I feel comfort in that.
The reason why I want to be a part of this community is because throughout my struggles I feel like when there is nothing else there is always God. It's hard to find people here that want to talk about God. I grew up with strict Catholic parents and never was a big fan of prayer and worship. I was quite the rebel growing up and joined the army to get out of town. I have no problems with the job itself but a lot of things have hurt me while I have been serving. I was raped within the first few months of arriving to my first duty station (all the way in Germany, far from my family), I became an alcoholic, and spent the good part of the past year in and out of hospitals and rehab. I have come a long way in recovery, but lately have been reliving things in nightmares every night. I've become really depressed and don't understand why things like this happen.
I'm searching for God, friends, support, and people that I can help out too. I feel I have come to the right place
Wish you all a blessed day.
Your friend,
Tara

Hello iloveanimals

God bless you this day, and welcome to Christianity Oasis.

I am glad The Lord led you here, and look forward to seeing you around the site and getting to know you better. I want to recommend a wonder 14 Day Study on this site. It has helped hundreds, myself included, in getting us back on track with God and His Beloved Word...His Son, and how to view our challenges through God's Word, while awaiting our healing. Here is the link to the Study: http://www.christianityoasis.com/CCCC/Forum.htm

God bless and keep you.
In Christ Jesus' love,
Sister Mack

God bless you child. You must be an extordinary young woman to be wise enough to get out of the trash that is on the net. I am sure God led you here, he led me when I was in need of someone to talk to who really loved God and it reflected in what they posted. Welcome with all my heart and enjoy time with God's saints. grandma dolittle
