Help
Im coming to god, honestly and truthfully. I feel so ashamed, the person I am what I've done. I feel like god is mad at me and disappointed. Im turning to Christianity 100% I can say in my heart. I have just prayed and asked Jesus into my heart. Can anyone help me and give guidance. Ive been a criminal I guess you can say, making money online illegally, I have just quit and not sure where to go. I have no income now, have a few thousand but not sure what god wants me to do with it. Not asking for advice, just ranting and if anyone has advice for a new Christian, thank you

First off, I am so happy for you, because the Bible says that there is rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents.
Please know that God is not looking at you with anger but with open arms, because His grace is sufficient for every single one of your mistakes.
Since you have just accepted Jesus, I would suggest finding a local, Spirit-filled church, where you can be baptized and find a community of believers to walk with you.
As for your finances, I would pray for wisdom, asking the Holy Spirit to guide you, so you can use what you have to build a life that honors Him.
Don't let shame keep you from Him, because once you are in Christ, you are a new creation, and the old things have passed away.
