    Not exactly sure if I am doing this completely right, just let me know if I am doing something wrong.
    I am currently a 19 yr old (almost 20) female college student. I have grown up in a religious family (southern baptists), and use to be rebellious. It took me some time to really sit down and actually analyze what I was reading. I just kind of listened to whatever I heard on the internet, but I always felt this pull to Christianity. I couldn't just stop believing it. Almost like their was always this lingering force in the back of my head, which caused me to do research. Once I actually started to dip my toe back into religion, I almost felt relief. Like someone was watching my back? (Something like that.) Living in such a remote area, going to a church was honestly extremely hard, since it was about 45 minute drive away. Eventually we stopped going, and started doing 'church' at home. I felt joining a community and having different point of views would actually broaden my horizons. I really hope I can meet nice people and talk to others about Christianity, and thank you for reading my long introduction.
