faith / path

Though I know about faith, hope, love since young,
I have not become a Christian for many years.

Last Summer, a retired teacher started guiding me to read the bible ,
English Standard Version, slowly a little bit once a week,

starting from John Gospel. 

From a local fete, I got a copy of Billy Graham's booklet,

I was invited to a 7-lesson "Christianity Explored"

and got chances to ask a friendly vicar questions.

I had visited some churches to find one I feel the least resistant to.

Among the two I went to more times,

one organized a whole-church course during Lent -

"40 Days in the Word".

That is very helpful.

Devotional method. It was enjoyable to
learn how to read / use bible to a more personal degree.

Even a chance to attend a life performance
of Handel's Messiah. (selected verses)

On my way searching for
 truth, path/way, light, joy, peace, love,

I felt guided.

Including all the years of my heart-breaking experiences.
It is like His plan.

Baptized on Easter Sunday. 

The song I can think of best represent my situation
is Amazing Grace.

The Word/ the Bible/ God's teaching

become important food for thought every day...

21st century Christians are lucky to have many

resources on www, on TV, etc. 

I use different bible study websites  interactive tools

to try to understand more about the teaching/wisdom.

Before the ceremony, the pastor warned me 

that there probably will be temptations & challenges from Satan.

I had some issues.
My mentor also faced problems

Learning to overcome.

Please pray for me & my mentor.
