I have been a Christian for 34 years (since I was 19).
I have had 3 miracles in my life.
1) I prayed for a godly husband, and God answered when I was 29.
2) After 3 miscarriages, I gave birth to a son in 1988.
3) Four years later, when it was probable I would not have any more children - I gave birth to a daughter.
I have had lots of hard times - and have questioned my faith and been disappointed with God. But He shows Himself faithful, has a plan that's always better than mine - and is motivated by His great love for all of His children. One day we will fully know and understand - but in the meantime - - it's faith!

I've been a Christian most of my life. I was raised in a Christian family, but not all attended Church faithfully. My Grandparents made me, but I didn't mind and am now thankful they did. All Christians have hard times and I'm sure many have questioned their faith at times. I have. The miracle in my life--3 years ago an Emergency Room Chaplain called our house and said for me and my husband to get to Orlando Regional Medical Center quickly. My son had been thrown from the sun roof of a vehicle that had overturned 5 times. His head hit a telephone pole. To make a long story short, the Doctors gave him no chance to live through the night. Now, here we are 3 years later and he's alive. He's paralyzed from the T-12 vertebra down and he has some short term memory problems, but he lived against a lot of odds. The Doctors were perplexed. Not me. God is good.

Been a Christian just about 12 years now. Been a TRUE Christ-follower about hmm... 1 year.
Yes, I have had miracles in my life. Jesus carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, and now I'm going to go to Heaven when I die. I'd call that a miracle...
Yes, about 3 years ago I went through an extrememly hard time and almost became an atheist. But then I researched it more and became a TRUE God loving, Christ imitating, Holy Spirit filled person. Since then, I've laughed at myself for ever having doubts about God.

1. I've been a Christian for 10 years.
2. Many miracles.
3. Although I will always believe there is a God, I'm currently at the lowest point in Christianity I've ever been at and have walked away at the moment.
Peace :-)

In answer to your first question, I've been saved since I was 10 years old.
In answer to your second question, I would have to say He's saved my life - literally on more than one occasion. The time my family & I remember best is when He saved my life before, during, & after I had heart bypass surgery. The doctors told my family it would take a miracle for me make it. When I survived,
the doctors - for a while - called me "their miracle patient".
And these doctors are Christian doctors !
In answer to your third question, I went through several years when I thought all organized religion was made up of politicians and hypocrites and walked away because the church I had belonged to became so fanatical that they started taking the dead off the church rolls and had started deciding which type of person could come through their doors.
Then I heard the Word of God being preached by someone who seemed to care - the way God said we're supposed to and I realized that I been a fool to let Satan lead me away. My own
fears about my church infected me and Satan led from God.
This preacher led me back.
In case you haven't guessed, the doubting phase took place before the miracles.
I still have doubts every now and then but I all have to is remember what He's done for me and count my blessings - my Salvation,my family, my pets, my friends, my house, my food, my life,....etc.

I became a Christian nearly 20 years ago.
Define miracle?
I have fallen away in times of trial, I must admit. I have reached points in my life when I wondered if God even existed. But I found out that He is true to His promises even when I renege on mine. My faith and security are in His hands, not mine, and how often I have thanked Him for that. My salvation lies in His love for me, not in my ability to abide by or even understand His truth. But I sure do hunger for it! All that is good comes from Him. And that's where I want to be.

Yes. My first child should not have been born--the doctor said she wouldn't make it, but today she's 12. And my heart healed up after having had a heart attack--that's not supposed to happen.
Yes, and I still do sometimes. Most people who think about their faith do from time to time--that why it's called faith and not called knowledge.
If you are doubting now, hang in there and remember back to why you believed in the first place.

I've been a Christian -- Catholic -- since my baptism at the age of 11 days.
My days are filled with miracles....God's loving presence within me, a new day...every day....tons of stuff.
I've had tons of hard times....bitterly painful at times but no....I've never questioned my faith. I am very rock-solid in it even as I've watched my parents, sister and others in my family walk away from Catholicism. They're not entirely happy where they are at. they've tried different churches....they're not entirely satisfied. I am so content in the Catholic Faith.

I've been a Christian for about 11 years. In my mid 20's I was addicted to drugs and borderline suicidal. Out of desperation I prayed to God (My first time) and pleaded for him to help me. His help was immediate and very obvious. Enough so that I'm a believer with all my heart.
Now Jesus Christ is with me everyday and life couldnt be better.
