I heard these girls bitching about me and laughing in English today than I started to freak-out, when I looked over and realised they were all staring at me.
Than I thought God's opinion was the only one that matters, and hes forgiven me for all the horrible stuff I've done, so it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or knows about me, because its like it never happened. Than I felt relaxed and could concentrate again.
I've been thinking about it all day.
Also if they do know stuff about me that I'd rather keep as skeletons in my closet, that just means one less thing I have to hide from them right?

I have never done anything to these girls. They are nasty through and through, and they talk about everyone.
I realised that I can make people laugh without having to hurt anyone else!
The things I have done were to do with purity, not other people.

You don't need to hide your past. It is forgiven. I wouldn't necessarily brag about it but God can use you in a special way because of what he has help you overcome. The answer to your question is yes it is a sign. Although it sounds like you have had faith in God for a while not at last. It has simply been growing.
Galatians 5
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Fruit is singular. When you have the Holy Spirit with you fruit will start to grow all over for others to see. It is not something you can attain yourself. This is what you are experiencing.

You had a good thought. However, more important than what your friends and God think about you is what you think about yourself. I mean, of course, God has forgiven you for whatever you did, but have you forgiven yourself? If not, it is about time.
Remember when people were trying to stone the prostitute and Jesus asked them to throw the first stone the one with no sin? Honey, in this world, nobody is better than anyone. No matter what you did, your friends surely have a lot of dirty secrets too, so don't worry about what they can think or talk about you, because they are not better than anyone. If you have done mistakes, be humble to admit them and apologize, if you can. No guilty, please! Guilty is one of the biggest motives for depression.
Peace!

I can only answer this as according to my religion and faith. YOur right about God's opinion is the only one that matters however, the language of your question "b***ng" isn't a proper "christian's" language. Not putting you down just offering a bit of advice and knowledge. You are right that it doesn't matter to a certain extent what people think of you but the Bible says not to offend and be a stumbling block to your neighbor. If God has forgiven you of those things in your past you have nothing to worry about. The devil will try to bring up your past to throw you off balance and try to make you believe that Jesus hasn't forgiven you of it. Don't let the devil do that. God gave us authority over him so just tell him (the devil) he's a liar and he's defeated. Hold your head high in the knowledge that Jesus forgave you.

Honey, if you have been doing things that hurt other people, then you need to make amends for that. It doesn't matter if you think that your god has already forgiven you, these are still insults to real people that need to be addressed.
If, however, you are innocent of any wrong doing, then it shouldn't matter what others say, your true friends should know you well enough to know when someone is lying.

I am sorry that you were being talked about and laughed out.
I know its hard in the world today with so many hateful people
Yes! put your faith in God and not people. Forgive them in your heart and realize that they are lost.
Turn the other cheek dear. Your reward will be in heaven and It is much greater than what we experience here on earth.
Be kind to them and love them. Thats what God would have you to do, even when it hurts and our flesh wants to get even.
Be a witness and shine with the light of Jesus. It will make them want to know what you have that they don't.
You can use this situation to bring others to Christ
God Bless

Do you need signs of your salvation? If you have Jesus as your Savior, then you are.
As for your reaction to those girls, you are definately showing some good fruit. You are dead, and dead people do not care about 1) their reputation, 2) what others think.
Colossians 3:3
For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
If you are concerned that you might not be saved, and want to be 100% assured, then you can email me and I will help you get there. - Schneb

Honey, He is maturing you! Slowly, you will start to see His image reflected in yourself as you learn to think and act more and more like Him everyday!
Phillippians 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
That's a promise you can count on!!

It means that you are exhibiting grace (Christ-like character) and are understanding God's grace upon you. That's a wonderful thing!
It definitely is a sign of growth when we rely on God in times of testing, temptations or crisis. It means that we remember God's promises and that we are humbling ourselves before Him.
Keep maturing in the faith! God bless!

The Christian God is unique contained in the promise to fulfill you. in case you seek for him, he will meet you. It feels like your pal have been given faith and in no way met God- so all problems with adult men he observed the impurity, hatred, greed, and so on that got here from the middle of guy and theory that replaced into faith. yet he's passionate and God will meet him quickly; keep a watch on him and you will see the replace. ask your self this- how did primitive guy comprehend suitable to the advent of the universe and evolutionary concept? that's what Moses wrote in Genesis (first e book of the Bible). the large Bang, planetary accretion concept, Darwinian evolution (fish, amphibian, reptiles-birds, mammals, guy). via denying Bible he's denying God; its like coaching somebody the thank you to paint-yet they insist on keeping their eyes close. i do no longer think of this is going to paintings. sturdy success and pray for a miracle to tutor God. Si?
