New Believer and a friend

One day while talking to my roommate, my roommate best friend came in the room. We both knew each other but not to the point where I was able to say that we were friend. They were talking about their past and such and started to ask me my opinion. In the midest of all the conversation that were going on, me and my new friend found out that we both have simular backgrounds and life stories. After finding that i had to ask question to a new believer i thought of my friend. She told me at the age of 14 she came to know the Lord at church one day and then less then a year later she went back into the pattern of the world again. Then one day God got a hold of her heart and she came back to the Lord and since then she had her ups and downs .I said her what the best part of being a Christians is?  The best part of being a Christian is being apart of the church. The hardest part was living everyday surrounding by things that she use to do. The Best part of being in Church is being with all this amazing people in church that encourager me to each going. Most changeling was understand what God really has for me. I pray a lot but sometime i feel that he didnt answer. Some advice that i have for new believers is to find someone that you can be accountable to that knew everything about you and everything that happens in your life and encourages you to grow in God. She told me all this and it made me think that if i was not open to hear her story then i would have never meet a great friend but also accountable partner. we are working together to find what God has for us. He has done great things for both of us.. Thank you GOD so much for her...
