Welcome, Penny!
This is my first chance to say that cause I'm a newbie also.

'Cept I don't know where to get all those cool icons they all have. I am also new in Christ - because of this forum. I have found that the best way to overcome is just to keep feeding that thirst for knowledge by reading, reading, reading. The Holy Bible will be your best armor for any warfare that comes your way. The more I read, the more understanding I get. It's like a magic Book and keeps drawing me to sit down with it. Read it as often as you can. And let your heart drink it in and sooth your soul.
Also, surrounding yourself with friends like on this forum is about the best thing to do. And ask lotsa' questions. I keep 'um hopping with questions. And I have lots of them. I mostly pm, but I'm getting braver and have started some threads already. See ya 'round!
