I now talk to God and every time I do I get emotional, the question is why? I like the new me and know I am saved, but why the emotions? Is it guilt or what? I know I am not the person I use to be for I sense it. I worry about sinning but even that has slowed down a bit. How can I be saved when I sin? Since I got saved my old world and way in it has changed radically?

I am not the unsaved person I use to be, but wonder what now? I am waiting on God to show me what I am suppose to do while waiting for him to show me what I should do. I have hearing problems even with hearing aids and can't hear the preacher when he preaches. i was saved in North Carolina at the Mt Pleasant church of God, which I miss terribly. nameone

i think i can answer that one because I've been there emotionally as well!

and yes, these are emotions, but they're also mixed in with gratitude to God for what He's done,
sorrow for the pain that all our sins (not just yours alone) have caused Him,
the hurt, pain, and rejection that He suffered and endured for us,
as well as our sorrow mixed with our shame that we're still trying our best to please and honor Him, and yet we slip up from time to time.

so don't feel that you're alone with these new feelings.
I've known grown ministers to weep tears of sorrow at the remembrance of Jesus on the cross, because they felt just like this too, and because Jesus' gift is precious to all of us.

as for what you should do while waiting, try just talking with God like you would a new friend. He is here to help you, and He's really dedicated towards both teaching and helping you learn what it's like to be one of His family.
you might also start by just reading the 4 gospels from the Bible.
the books are: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

each book talks about Jesus' teachings and they show His character; each one from a different perspective. they will help you very much.

best wishes to you as you begin your journey.

It could be the interaction of His Spirit and yours...

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
(Rom 8:26-27)
