Title: Newwwwww
Post by: Cypress on March 28, 2010, 02:01:45 PM

So, I'm taking Ninny's advice and starting my own thread  ;).

I grew up in a traditional Christian home. Several years ago, my mother, after almost 30 years with the "church", came to discover the truth through Ray's website. Little by little, she has been exposing me to Ray's articles (and Mike Vinson's). My father passed away when I was 11 and my only sister was killed in a car crash when I was 18. It was around that time or so that God began working in my mom and brought her to Ray's site.

I'm 27 (well, 28 next week) and I have to admit it's been a struggle dealing with the fact that everything you thought you knew could very well be wrong, and feeling very alone amongst other Christians. I finally logged us in here, so I hope to post here often, and post on my mother's behalf as well.

Hi Cypress, it's good to meet you.  I hope we have a long time of continuing fellowship.

(I took the liberty of cleaning up your first post in the other thread so we could greet you properly).

Hi Cypress,

I'm glad you have joined us  :)
Well we have to go through the darkness and deception before we can come to the light and truth.

Tit 3:3  For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

Luke 1:78  Through the tender mercy of our God,
       With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;
v. 79  To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
       To guide our feet into the way of peace."

I hope this fellowship will give you a place to visit and take away some of your loneliness.

Welcome Cypress
I have a feeling that you'll be as strong and regal as a cypress tree. I know that you will grow as we all walk together reflecting and sharing on God's Word which He has so generously opened up to Ray. Looking forward to share with you.

Cypress...can you give your mom a name? so we don't just say, "Hi, Cypress' mom!" :) Give her a little name so we can address her..it doesn't have to be her real name... It is so cool that she's been reading here for so long! She's learned a lot and she'll be a great help to you!  :D   anyway..."Hi, Cypress' Mom!!"  ;D
