Finding God and Minimising Doubt

My Journey to God

No matter how well you know God has he confused you or even amazed you? For me to many times to count. I'd like to begin with my journey to God.

God was a stranger for a very long time, I grew up "without him" so I felt like I have gone this long without him so why do I need to accept him now? 2013 I attended my first scripture camp, did it change? Well not really. I continued to attend camps, six to be precise. Every camp I'd claim to commit myself to God, until I went home where it was forgotten until next time. In fact I was "only Christian during camps." However my seventh camp was like none other, it's when I truly began my journey with God. For the first time I found real peace in God, I prayed for someone out loud and I worshipped out loud and arms wide open. At the beginning of said camp it was said "get into worship early cause if you wait until the end of camp you'll regret it." Yet I thought I wouldn't cause I hadn't in previous years and this was my last year as a camper so why would I now, however come the end I did.

I continued to pray to and worship God throughout the year. During which I got a message from God to tell a friend that "God loves her and the doubt and stress she is feeling now will pass." I was shocked when she told me she really needed to hear that. In return she had said she was meaning to give me the name of a worship song, a song in which I had been secretly searching for the name of for months. The year progressed and later I got lead by God to a bible verse I had never heard. At first I didn't know why he needed me to read it, however after some time he explained it to me.

Throughout my journey (2.5yrs since my official commitment) I have had doubts and my faith tested. So far I have remained strong in him and I'm glad I have. Because God is worth my everything and nothing will change that.
