| i am new here and figured i would let everyone know a little more about me. i grew up catholic and moved in with my aunt when i was 15. this started my spiral of drugs and alcohol smoking, and other vices and sin. fast forward to about 2005 and i am working at auntie annes cafe(they are no longer around ) and this super hot chick is working there too(my future wife wow). she is a christian but wasnt really walking with the Lord at this point. but nevertheless she would talk about her church all the time, how much fun it was, the togetherness of it etc. she would ask me on a regular basis if i wanted to come to church with her, i would always respectfully decline until it clicked in my unsaved head:if i go to her church with her, then probably she will like me more and her mom will totally dig me more which is practically an automatic in" hahaha little did i know that God had a totally diff plan. so i went to her church and WOW waaaaaaaaaaaaay diff then wat i was use to, if uve ever been to a catholic church and an evangelical charismatic church u know wat i mean. but carzy, i went another time and then a 3rd and that was the night most of that sermon was a soaking reflective service and at one point i was just sitting there and God was just revealing things to me through his Holy Spirit, showinfg me things that i had done in my life wasted time, misspent gifts, etc, but in a totally convicting way not condemning(totally how he rolls!!) i just started balling my eyes out ahhahahaha then tiffany saw me and asked if i was ok i said no haha asked me if i wanted to talk to her pastor and carzily enough i said yes, then her , Pastor Hub and i went into a classroom downstairs and he asked me wat was wrong and i said i dont know i just know that my life has been so wrong etc etc. he led me througha prayer and boom instant adoption!! that was like 5 years ago now and he has been growing me ever since, blessed me with a beautiful PATIENT understanding abundantly gracefilled wife and has been continously opening opportunities for me to be used by Him ever since!!!sweet!!!!! | |

| First...she IS beautiful! (nice pic!)
Second....you just made me smile and tear up at the same time. God is good!!!
Your story sounds familiar! I grew up Catholic myself. First time "back" was a complete difference from how I grew up. It was a non-denominational Christian Church. I fell in love.
Welcome again, brother!!! Can't wait to meet you and your wife!!!

| Very good testimonial. I think most of us have been there (i.e., away from God, doing what we should not be doing). It is amazing how He finds a way to bring us back to Him. And it is aways different for each person, but it is the right thing He does at the right time in our lives.
I can relate to you experience with different churches. Although I am still in the same one I attended as a child, the service has totally changed to a contemporary style or worship. The rest of my wife's family is Roman Catholic, and when I attend Mass (e.g., christening, first communion, confirmation etc.) I just cannot relate to the very traditional and ritualized style of service. But then, it works for them, so to each his own.
