I am thejesusfreak (you can call me Davy Jones, it's my nickname that my friends gave me) , your guild captain, I am fourteen years old, the youngest of four, one of my sisters is married and my other sister moved temporarily, I have one brother. I am willing to help anyone, but I am still recovering from the double life that I once led (I use to be gay) so right now I am super-sensitive to thing related to homosexuality. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can, keep in mind that I go to school, that I go to church and that I value my family and friends, and that I have a girlfriend, but i will try and find time for you, please understand.
With Christ's love,
TJF

Hi, I'm married with 2 kids. Well, this is the guild to share this in and I have talked it over with my hubby first. When I married my husband, I was aware of his diagnosis CHF- chronic fatigue syndrome and other ailments. He was very depressed most of the time, but he thought it was because he was sick. Over time the depression became worse and he talked often of wishing God would take him home. The depression peaked when we had our second child and he had to quit his job because he was no longer sleeping more than 2 hours a night even though he was completly exhausted. As a christian, I prayed for him all the time and many other christians were praying as well. He isolated himself from everyone except for me. He freely shared and poured out all of his misery daily- he didn't know what else to do. When he started to talk frequently of suicide, I went through a horrible range of emotions. Eventually, he agreed to see a christian psychologist and he started to take anti-depressants for the first time. Most anti-depressants take 3-4 weeks to take effect so into his first 2 weeks- he tried to overdose on anti-deprressants as a suicide attempt. He was taken to the hospital right away and luckily did not suffer the side effects (possible seizures with overdose).
After this experience, he started to change and I began to see answers to my prayers. He said he felt better on antidepressants and was starting to hear from God more clearly. He was able to sleep through the night again.
He joined a christian support group called hopekeepers and found insight into God's promises in difficult circumstances. Then he was able to give hope and support to those in similar circumstances. He is now taking courses from a bible college towards becoming a pastoral assistant.
Sorry that was long and I even shortened it the best I could, but that's the story. 3nodding

My name is Ronald, I'm 19 years old, and go to nursing school in Southern California. Riverside community college.
I plan to go to a 3rd world country one day to help those who are too poor to afford healthcare, and possibly become a nursing teacher.
I have no intention of telling my life's story unless you want to hear it.

Did he accept Jesus yet?(srry if that question stirs your emotions) O, gee, he accepted Jesus when he was 17 yrs. old- 4 yrs. before I did. I should have been more clear on that, but the psychologist helped him discover he had a chemical imbalance in the brain a.k.a. bipolar- the type where he would have more down feelings than up feelings.

My name is Mike and I'm a sophmore in highschool. I'm a Christian, and I've come a long way in my walk with Christ, and have so far to go still. I just got the okay to start a bible study at my school, which will start on the first wednesday in November.
I am the owner of a Christian guild here on gaia, and an admin in a christian forum website. I don't want to advertise them here, so I won't mention their names because they aren't important.
I have played the piano for almost 10 years, I bike occasionally, and I like to go online (as you can see). Yeah, so that's all I can think of right now. biggrin

Sorry, I introduced myself in the wrong thread. xp
So my name is Isaiah and I am 15 years old. I came to Jesus a little over a year ago. I always knew a little about Jesus, but then my mom also turned away so I stopped learning about him when I was like 5 or 6 years old. We then turned mormon when I was like 13, and eventually we also stopped that also. Though I don't agree with the mormon teachings, it was the step that led me to God.
One day my mom decided to call her pastor after more than 10 years and we went. How she got the number I don't know. I went and accepted Jesus the first day. That was in the august of last year. Then I got a Bible for christmas and that is when I started reading the Bible. I immediatly clung to it like I was always in Christ. Then I prayed for christian friends and two came the next day. Friends named Mike and Kigenyi. Through them God gave me a youth group and a new church( which I was also praying about because our pastor is an evangelist and he will leave eventually) I got these things after I got a short word from God saying "ask, just ask."
After I got christian friends we moved and I was angry. Then one day I left church and I was stopped dead in my tracks because I had a vision. I saw us being killed. After that I wasn't angry I was thankful. That has led me to today.
