Timothy and Ellie-
Thank you for your replies and encouragement. You have no idea how the enemy started working on my mind after posting that! Seeing your messages here is resounding, as I started to overthink and doubt myself, worrying I had overshared and made a fool of myself. I aim to glorify God and will try to be more concise in future posts. I am super grateful to hear other’s testimonies as well and agree with you, Ellie, that those who come from the paths of paganism are often keenly aware of the subtile and subtle ways the enemy tries to slither into “Christian church buildings” and infiltrate using mystical and emotional means. As for my location, I’m just south of the Silicon Valley/ Bay Area. (i know, yikes!) :-X
Looking forward to learning and growing here, feeling blessed in the discernment and strength I’m seeing in the other posts and grateful I will have some fellowship alongside brothers and sisters.

I couldn’t agree with you more about the Bible Kevin! And I’m sorry I’m such a noob and didn’t see the first names listed next to the user handles!
:o Here I am calling people by an online moniker when your name is RIGHT there! Forgive me.
I am grateful for the depth and infinite, dynamic, living nature of God’s word more and more as He opens my eyes to His wisdom and gives me comprehension! From surface level to the deep, seed planting meanings, that may take many seasons or years to germinate- it continually astounds me how His unyielding, multi faceted truth can be continuously harvested out His living word. What a gift we have in the Bible! I feel like I am devouring knowledge lately and my prayer life has grown into habits I never thought possible. Healing comes in all forms and my spirit, while living inside a body riddled with health issues from birth, is boundless in the strength I have in God’s love in me. Taking action FOR Him, daily, spurns me on to exceed my own preconceived notions of my mental, physical and spiritual boundaries. And words don’t do living for Christ justice! I feel so earnestly about being an example, a window through which others might catch a glimmer of the light God shines through His children.
Looking forward to getting into other member’s introductions and reading more of our community’s testimonies!
