Newbie!

Hey guys!
New guy here, but I accidently came across the site one day by just typing in "Christian Anime" on Google to see if such a thing existed; lo and behold, I got an entire ALLIANCE dedicated to good, clean, and fun anime with anime lovers who themselves are the same way (even if they do have struggles here and there
)
Anyways, just so you guys can get to know me... I go by the online alias 'NJel' that I took on to completely changed the way I communicated to my peers online.
What kind of background do I come from? Well, I was first saved when I was 4 years old. It wasn't until I was 12 when I started to back-slide pretty hardcore and found myself in a (for you anime knowers) "Yaoi" lifestyle. It's difficult to say how it occured. I know I never chose to be that way, and I never really felt that I was born that way, but it wasn't until I realized that I had been slippin' pretty far and found myself getting into things no human being was supposed to when I stopped what felt like the world around me and just cried out to Christ.
Then, on November 14, 2007 I gave my heart to the Lord and have been a christian ever since. I became abstinent (have been ever since) and just have been keeping myself extremely busy during the week with time to relax over the weekend. I have an amazing testimony about all of that; though, I'll save that for the appropriate thread.
I am currently writing a novel. It is entitled "Children of Prophecy" (that's the going title for it anyways) and it's got a really unique storyline that I feel will help witness to those sci-fi/fantasy fans out there, and encourage others who are christian to be just a little bit stronger in Christ and learn how. I use scripture references even in the titles to summarize the main idea of that specific chapter, and even for each individual part of the book.
I also do volunteer work at my church and I work full-time in retail. I feel retail is a significant area of a christian's life; especially, if that certain christian is young, because so many of the world's youth today shop in retail outlets, and it gives us younger retail workers the opportunity to witness to them and reach out to them. I help the media/tv department in our church for live audience feed and such. I'm currently training in Graphic Design so I can help our media department out even further.
Anyways, I'm sure you will come to know more about me via getting to know me personally or by reading my posts on various topics. I'll see ya on the threads!
Sincerely,
NJel
