What's this thingamajig all about?

I've grown tired of the facade that many Christians put up. They act like everything is alright, when they're really struggling inside. You see, many people believe that the way to win over non-believers is to paint the faith as something easy; all you have to is give your life over and everything is great. The unfortunate truth is that your problems don't just simply go away when you give your life over to Christ. The truth is revealed, but that doesn't make dealing with the truth necessarily any easier. We still go through many of the same struggles as everyone else. The difference is that we have some answers to our questions.

So what is this all about then?

I'm a growing Christian. Sometimes I feel lost. I want to show the world that life doesn't necessarily get easier once you become a Christian. I want to have a place where I can share the inner doubts and turmoil that I have, not only so that you, the readers, can share these experiences with me as I grow, but so that I can look back and see how far that I have come. Sometimes you just have to get something off your chest in the moment. And I want to share that with you because I want to paint and honest picture. Nobody is going to win any hearts by misleading anyone to believe life is easier than it is.

So here's the deal: You're going to have to bear with me; sometimes I may contradict myself when I've had a momentarily loss of faith, and sometimes I may sound a little whiney/complaining. It's all part of growth, I image.

Let's see where this goes.
