| I'm elated and kind of terrified at the same time. I've been riding this fence for a while now, it's a big jump. And I'm scared to make it, but I'm going to give it all I got!
Any advice for a 26 year old single girl, working towards a career and trying to be closer to God !? LOL
I'm going to be hitting up my fellow religious BBs quiet often with some questions. Cause I have tons. I found a great group in my church and my preacher, family and friends have been very supportive. Even my Daddy, who's pretty set again GOING to church, not the religion. Just doesn't like church ( grandmother forced him to go until he was 18)

Location: between here and there | Welcome to the bandwagon! :) Questions are normal and some anxiety I imagine as well. However, trust each step you take in your journey to be guided by your church and most of all Jesus! You will learn so much and give up so little to walk the walk! God bless you and enjoy your special day!! It's just the beginning! |

Location: East Texas | First, let me say how totally happy and excited I am for you! In my opinion, you have made the best decision of your life. That being said, let me warn you that following Jesus is not for the wimpy. The devil will now try and attack you at every corner because now that he can't have your soul, he will want to mess up your witness to others. Tell him to go back where he came from anytime he tries to mess with you! I pray you find a church that will help guide you along your new journey. I know there are plenty of BB's on here that will answer questions or just pray for you! Blessings!!!

Not only made me smile but gave me chill bumps too----I was young when I was baptized, but I remember how excited and nervous I was. Congratulations |
