It has taken me over 2 years to actually make a blog on here but i have now started :D
If u have seen my profile bit then u will know im a Christian and I will now tell you how i became a christian and how it has affected my life :D so here goes nothing.
Was born in a Christian family and been going to church every sunday so i heard the gospel every week but I never understood it and tbh I didn't want to know it or learn it. All i wanted to do was to chill out with friends all day but of course when you have christian parents that doesn't work.
When i was going to sunday school I started to have fun at church mainly because I made some awesome friends and it was great to be with them also but again I didn't want to learn about God and after few years I started getting bored of sunday school because I heard same stories over and over so i knew all answers. when I stopped going to sunday school and stayed in main service I didn't know what he was going on about but I guess that was good for me at that point. So years went on and I just wanted to spend time with friends and not care about God or his word, UNTIL MaD CAMP was introduced into my life :D. When I first started going I didn't know anybody there apart from my sister and her friends but course they didn't want to hang around with me so I was very bored but when my friends came along few year later I started enjoying camp and unfortuantly again I only went to camp to spend a week with my closest friends and not care about God.
Cut this whole story short a few years later when all my mates from church was on camp and most in my tent I actually started to listen to the speaker there in evening meetings (J Harris). One evening all of my mates who were in my tent became Christians thanks to God and the speaker, I thought I was as well but unfortuantly when I got home I went back to my normal life and ok I listened more in church but I still acted the same as b4 camp.
Friends carried on being Christians thankfully but I knew I needed to change and thankfully Camp came again year later and this time a new Speaker on camp (B Griffin). I listened more in my tent bible studies and in evening meetings and it was on the Thursday when I became saved :D. In evening meeting I prayed that God would really help me listen and understand his word and because Im such a man we had 2 songs b4 the actually talk started and well you know God made me think about the words on the page and I thought about it. Helped me to listen in the talk and well I became saved.
Went home after camp acting differently and nvr stopped following God and never will no matter what people think or say :D. So 4 or 5 years have gone past and the Christian life has been rock solid so much depression so many doubts in my life and tbh they have not stopped. Thankfully for me I have the greatest mates you will ever see and hear who have helped me in the last few years and months and I want to say at this point I'm sorry for every bad thing I have said to you guys I know I have acted a fool :(
For most of you though you probs didn't know I was struggling or maybe not even a Christian but hey there is a lot to learn about me and most things I won't mention.
Well thats about it for this topic :) sorry its long but hope u enjoyed it anyway :D see u all laters

Matt, it's always nice to hear your testimony again. I can testify to seeing an immense change in you after you became a Christian - you were much nicer to live with!! lol. But, seriously, I didn't reliase you have ever struggled with depression or doubts. Have you spoken to Mum or Dad about it? I know Mum has always worried that depression is heredity, she might be interestd to know about it and they'll both be able to help you. If you ever want to talk, you know where I am. I'll be praying for you, little bro :-) God bless. xxx
