First before I start, I have to say that my Bishop taught us during Bible Study that we have to be "delivered" from being "private." I know I used to be the type of person that didnt like to share my personal struggles because I've been burned by people ALOT as far as them gossiping about what I've shared with them or using what I've shared with them in confidence against me. But we have to realize that as Christians, we're all brothers and sisters, all reading from the same book, and all trying to live holy...so many times..we're either struggling with the same thing..or we HAVE struggled with the same thing..and when you have someone to talk to about it..it makes it alot easier.

Also, I hope to gain knowledge through e-fellowshipping ;) with other believers, strengthen my relationship with Christ, and become more effective in leading others to Christ with every bit of knowledge I gain.

Having said that, I will share things that most frequently trip me up. 1. My temper/My mouth.. this really gets me sometimes because I feel like I'm a nice person (although many would disagree ;) ) and it really burns me up when someone tries to do me wrong, lies to me, or tries to take advantage of me. My first reaction is to usually lash out with my words...and that is what gets me in trouble...because my tongue is deadly when not contained... 2. I also struggle with being Patient..and letting God do what he wants to do in and through me..without questioning him, getting impatient, or trying to make things happen on my own. 3. I dont know which sin this is...but I know its like Christ-like LOL..so I'll share it... I have a tendency to "harden my heart" to people that have hurt me. I try to shut them out so they can't do it again... and I know that's not right..

So here are just a few things...I will add more later...
