Coming back to my faith.
As a child I spent a fair slice of my life in Church, my Mum made sure I went to Sunday school at the local Methodist church and I sometimes went with my Grandad- who I call Buppy ( the story goes that when I first started talking I called him this and my Gran and Parents decided it was too cute to correct) to the local Church of England. The primary school I attended although not a faith school had lots of activities in the Church but by the time I was a teenager I drifted away from God and the Church, I guess I felt it didn't fit in with my teenage life, my Mum for a short time got involved with the Jehovah Witnesses who were all lovely but I didn't get the whole blood thing and most if not all my friends were atheists. In all honesty in my teens I was just interested in boys and partying.
However, I started reading the Bible again when the eldest 2 kids were 6 and 1 ( I was 24). I was reading my Son some Bible stories from a book that he was given as a present at his Baptism when he was a baby and that evening I started googling about God, Jesus and the Bible and it whetted my appetite to what to know more. I ordered books from an online store and read them within a matter of a few days and then went back online and ordered more and really from that time God has become important in my life again.
