About Me
I'm a seeker and never want to stop growing. I joined because I believe I can learn a lot from anyone on here and would love it too. I grew up very conservative, rebelled, became a vegan/vegetarian and a pacifist. Only now am I coming to find God. Please feel free to ask me any questions if you have any.

Rather not specify,
Faith Description: "One of the teachers of the law came and ... asked him, Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
"The most important one, " answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no greater commandment greater than these." Mark 12: 28-31
