thank you guys SO much for speaking out! like the Bible says, if we're ashamed of God he'll be ashamed of us. so when we speak up we're blessed. anyway thanks of sharing your views everyone. and if theres still someone out there confused or anything, just say something. i'll be glad to help

well its interesting to know all of your views. again i appreciate not being persecuted for this. SPECIFICALLY TO Shadowed Heart: out of curiosity, why did you stop believing in God?

well, if you care, i might start rambling a little bit. im no preacher, but stop me if i get overbearing. look: i know you have all heard this, but its the best way to start saying this: God loves the world so he had his one and ONLY son die for all of us, so we wouldn't all burn in hell. now, you're not going to find it put like that anywhere in any Bible im pretty sure. thats my understanding of it. thats my view. if ur still listening, id like to say a little (little, yeah right) more from my personal experiences. from the time i was 3, my parents were christians. heck, my DAD was a pastor and we lived LITERALLY next door to our church. (that my dad pastored) so i grew up believing. i got my salvation when i was 4. and i was actually competent enough to understand what id done. now, i got older, got a life (so to speak). people at school hated me and that was a christian school. i lived for 4 years of that torment. i didnt want God anymore. he wasnt helping me (or so i thought) but i was desperate. i PRAYED for some deliverance from this hell. and he did. i have so many friends now that i actually cant count them off the top of my head. but thats not the point. when i got out of that school, i started to pray more. we found a church again (that was after dad stopped being a pastor and was so depressed because of it we didnt go to church). i felt closer to God. but then i came to public school. i started cussing and saying things like oh my god. even though i knew it was wrong. then everything went downhill. family issues (lots of them) boy issues, the works. you name it. so i cut myself. but then i found my Bible and started reading it. i have become closer to God this WEEK than my WHOLE life. because of the verses i quoted above. from memory i might add

yeah. well, its not the words that im saying are keeping me from harm. its God. im not gonna sit here and pour out the whole thing because no one is going to listen. and if you are just let me know and i would be overjoyed to spell it out for you. but as long as no one cares im not going to waste your time. or my breath.

well, its kinda sad to me for you guys to say that, but its not like im gonna hold it against you. im glad no one thinks im totally out of my mind. thats something i guess. it would be encouraging if there was anyone out there who agrees with me. if you agree, speak up!

well, people. i have 2. actually i think you should see my topic "wrist cutters" you might be surprised

to all you people out there who cut your wrists for whatever reason: i have done it myself (recently - as in the last few days) and feel obligated to share something. i am going through the worst time in my life. i was getting WAY overwhelmed and just didnt have a clue what to do. so i cut myself. 14 times in 2 days. in 5 diffferent places on my arms. my friends at school saw, no matter how hard i tried to hide it, and knew what happened. they made me swear not to cut myself anymore. and i stopped. not because of them, but i stopped. my friends strengthened me, yes. but im here because of one thing. that is God. a God who loves me and everyone else in this world. maybe this isnt the best first impression to make, but this is more important than popularity to me. if anyone is at all intrigued by this, email me, or message me. please. im happy to share what ive found. Psalms 73:25-26 "Whom have i in Heaven but you? And the earth has nothing i desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever." Nahum 1:7 "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him." Psalms 121:1-2 "I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, Maker of Heaven and earth." "Psalms 125:1 "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever." if you do not understand this or are interested in what i have said here, email me or message me. i check my email more often, so thats my preference. thank you all for reading this. i hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me these past few days.
