I let my feelings take control but I know I must be honest

Wassup everyone! 👋🏾 First off, welcome to the group—I’m so glad you’re here! This is a space for us to grow, learn, and build each other up in Christ. No matter where you’re at on your journey, you’ve got something to bring to the table, and I can’t wait to hear from you! Let’s start by getting to know each other a little better: 1. Who Are You? Drop your name, where you’re from, and something fun or interesting about yourself. 2. What’s Your Testimony? Don’t overthink it—just share what God’s done in your life or how He’s moving right now. It’s your story, and it matters! 3. Why Are You Here? What made you join this community, and what are you looking for? This is a safe space, so share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. Your story could be the one that inspires someone else or reminds them that God is still working. Let’s make this group more than a community—let’s make it family. Looking forward to hearing from y’all! 🙌🏾 Go ahead and introduce yourself in the comments or make your own post—I’m checking out every one of them because I want to know you. Let me start👇🏾

Hi y’all, I gave my life to Jesus when I was 15. It’s been a bit over a year now, and I constantly am struggling with abiding in Christ. I’m grateful to have grown up in a Christian household where we pray every night as a family and try to go to church every Sunday. Then, God blessed me with the opportunity to go to a boarding school that has amazing opportunities for me. Yet, it also has led me to struggle with my relationships as I am away from my family for months between each term. My family and I still pray every evening and I try to watch an online church every Sunday plus a Christian podcast that I like (I recommend Girls Gone Bible and Under the Bed podcast). However, the times that I read my Bible daily and spend time with the Lord on Sundays have become less consistent which honestly scares me. I genuinely wish to have some Christian friends to help me through these tough seasons, but there are no (at least that I know of) teens of Christ at my school who aren’t just Christian but followers of God. In other words, I just need some guidance as to how to live in such a worldly season (where all my friends do not know God and only just know about Him) and staying firm on my walk in Christ to not backslide and revert to the ways of this world. Also I’m sorry that this is super long. This has just been on my heart since the fall of the school year, and the Lord’s leading me to post this on here.
