"I am sorry. I am honestly a little skeptical of being saved overnight. I think it takes a lot of growing and developing an understanding of your beliefs and why you believe what you believe."
Well It wasn't really overnight. I mean, the instant "the world is off my shoulders" feeling happened quickly and obviously the belief happened instantly but even after that I wasn't really feeling God. or understanding everything. I tried to kill myself a week afterwards if that says anything. So it wasn't like I just had a HUGE change in one night. I mean, It was a huge change but it wasn't like, the old me turned into the me now overnight. :)
It's been over a month now and I feel it more than I ever dreamed. I feel God and I believe He has answered me numerous times already. At first I was like, "I shouldn't really call myself a christian because I don't feel like one" but.. well, that's behind me now. [/attempt at an explanation that it didn't all really happen overnight]
But... anyway, I accept your apology and am sorry I appeared to be condescending.
