How do/did i/you find God?

Hi guys, i'm new to these forums, but i have read a lot of the articles and like what i see. I came here originally about a month or two ago when i had no idea how to answer a lot of thing i had read in Dawkins' The God Delusion. The Debunking Dawkins section helped a lot, and got me started on thinking, Apologetics etc.
So just a little back story. I am just starting high school, and have been raised in a Christian home all my life, although not really a Christian. We have moved around a lot so, i have been in Baptist, Lutheran and Presbyterian churches. I never really thought about the existence of God, and Religion was more of a thing i would do because it felt right morally, but not because it made sense. I have since read Antony Flew's There is a God, (among other books) and i now am certain that there is a God. And if this God is tied to a religion, i think it must be Christianity, because it makes the most sense to me. It seems like the Bible lines up with historical facts often. But apart from various Apologetic works on the Laws of Nature, the Watchmaker etc, i don't know for sure through personal experience if that God is here. I am almost vertain he is, and he is probably looking down at me now, but i have never really had a prayer answered, or a voice inside my head or whatever like it seems like a lot of Christians i know have, asserting what i think. I want to become a Christian, but i don't know where to find God. I know he is out there though.
How did you guys find God? How do you know for CERTAIN that he is here now? Please reply!
Thanks
