Life has had its ups and downs for me in the past couple years... Or since I've entered puberty, specifically :-P. One part of my life going on a "don't eat before this" rollar coaster ride is my faith life.

Oh, I've had the highs. I've definitly hit the lows. A man who I respect touched on the subject with me a while back. He said, "I know you haven't given up Christianity, Sharon. I see you stuggling and thinking through things. If you weren't struggling or thinking, then I would be worried." It's always been there... Or rather He's always been there. I just haven't been putting in the effort of forming a personal relationship with him EVER in my adult life.

It's really helped me... Being here in Edmonton... I was able to cut a lot of things that weren't exactly helping me with the whole "jesus is my friend" thing. I love being around my roomies and having discussions with them. They've been through at least nine years of Christian schooling between the two of them, they were both involvedat their churches, and have both participated in ministries. They've been my age, most likely confused about life just as much as I am and have been. I've learned a lot from them already and will continue to do so as I live here.

My short term goal [for however long it takes... Maybe it should be my long term goal :-P] is to really sit down and figure out what I want for my life. I know I want to be financially stable, get everything that needs to be payed off and dealt with. Figure out what I want to do, where I want to go, who I want to surround myself with. And God will defs be one of those relationships I'll be surrounding myself with.

Please keep me and my struggles in your thoughts.
