My religion/belief system is the core of my life. Without it, I think i would truly be lost in this big,crazy world. My personal experiences with religion and everything surrounding it are SO amazing that I can't even begin to explain. Growing up, my parents never really forced Christianity on me, they just told me the things they knew and things that worked for them. With the belief that my parents are some of the best human beings in the world, I figured I wanted to find out more about Christianity and all that it had to offer. However, (although this may sound cheesy) what really got me was the bible stories! I LOVE to read and the stories in the bible were so engaging that I wanted more. When I got a bit older i realized just how important God was to me. When I started being involved in church(not just sitting around watching) I really got submerged into everything God is all about. I felt things that I had never felt before and I wanted more. I, like all of the adults, would cry tears of joy and sorrow. I realized that I didn't have to be alive and that someone my age died yesterday. I would wonder why that person wasn't me but I have come to believe that its because someone was watching me and protecting me and didn't want me gone yet. Of course this may be the easy way out, just to answer all of life's questions with " Because God wanted it that way," but what if its true?
Because of my experiences and interactions with God, I grew as a Christian. However, my belief in Christianity wasn't completely solidified until my grandma passed last November. To see a woman who had been through it all STILL have such a strong belief in God, convinced me that God was real. Its really hard for me to explain how my personal experiences with religion have molded me and shaped me into the person that I am today. The point of explanation is so that others can understand. But, in my opinion, some things just cant be explained or understood.
