Good evening from Virginia!
I used to post on RR before as Charity4Ever, and later, Praise Warrior for a very long time. I think I was in my teen years when I started and a fairly new believer? But I stopped posting and later visiting for a while because I felt like all the end-times news events were causing anxiety and I had to take a break. However, now He is giving me ministry experiences where I have to watch for Jesus' return and write about what I see for others, and I need to get back into this again, hopefully this time without the anxiety.
Although I feel like I probably spent way too much time back then online reading and posting, I'm realizing what I learned and wrote about before is coming in *very* handy now as God has taken that and turned it into an opportunity for me to do ministry, both at work and in my church. So I am so very thankful for all the knowledge of Scripture and eschatology I have gained from my time here and on RR from everyone else. Others have recognized that and have been helped and glorified God because of it (after they stopped being surprised I didn't actually study eschatology at Bible college), and it has helped them grow closer to God and His Truth too. That is so rewarding. Also, I want to study Scripture more in-depth formally, yet people have actually told me that I don't need it, but that is largely in part because what these forums have done for me over the years.
That said, I'm glad to be back, and I hope I can continue to learn and grow in this season from everyone here. It will have an impact on lives in my direct community.
