Hey Seleana,
I'm very glad to read of your decision. As far as words of advice or help, I would say, don't view it as merely a religion, but a relationship. As Christians, we believe in a personal God who loves us and wants us to know Him. He loved us so much that He gave His Son for us.
Get to know Him. Pray and talk to Him. Get into His Word, the Bible. Not just as a form or a ritual, but to find out what He wants to say to you. (When you start reading the Bible, I'd suggest John, then Romans.)
And as MSP and Warrior 4 Jesus have said, get involved in a local church. One way I believe God speaks to us is through relationships with His people. You may have to search a while until you find the right church for you, and don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen right away. I'd suggest talking with a Christian friend that you trust, who can maybe help guide you to a good church.
Hopefully this is of encouragement. And as other posters have said, if you need to talk to someone here, I think most of us would welcome your PMs.
Theme Scripture: Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1)
And a verse for all us single folks:
Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? (1 Corinthians 9:5)
