When I joined wondercafe a few days ago, I went directly to this very page. Convinced that my love for writing would give me something great to write about, some great introduction to the wondercafe community.

But I found no such luck in that endevour as I realized that...well, I'm not quite sure what I want to say to anyone about anything of substance. I'm not quite sure what I could say.
I've been on my own personal spiritual journey since I was about 11 or 12. I was raised in a home where my mom was Catholic (but quiet about it) and my dad was...well I have never really known. He's not an athiest, but he's not really anything else. I think he just never bothered to search for many answers.
That's all neither here nor a there though, as well...all that upbringing really brought me was a lot of questions and a lot of frustration.

I finally chose to be baptized and recieve first communion when I was around the age of  12/13 and then fell right out of any sort of faith for a few years. Got myself into the "scuzzy" crowd in school, forgot about grades, had a life threatening experience...and then waited a while longer. I never really returned to church after all that was over.
I felt like after all of that, how could the people in my congregation ever look at me the same. I was not your typical church going girl anymore...and everyone knew that to some extent. I knew that if there was a God, he would not desert me...but I wasn't sure about the people there to teach me about Him.
And then I graduated, joined up with Absolute Leadership Development...and met some people who turned my head towards faith again.
The past 6 months of my life have been very concentrated on finding myself and reintegrating some sort of belief system back into my life. I have taken these past few months to soak up any knowledge and any opinion that people offer me, and I have started the process of introducing myself to God again. Well...at least discovering my view of God and my take on religion and my trust in faith. And thus, as I have started studying the Bible again, I have also alongside that joined this community in order to learn from all kinds of people at different places in their own journeys.

That is my self introduction to you all, the wondercafe community. I can only hope that I have as much to offer you all, as I am sure you all have to offer me.
