My Faith...
Most people don't know that I am a God loving man. I pray and read the Bible almost everyday of the week. I attend church twice a month and meditate on the reasons and the motives of life. I know where my places is both here and when I pass. What bothers me though, its that I don't know any thing about my close friends. I don't wear my faith on my shoulder, but you can sure see it in my actions and my decisions. My fam, I can see something, but I dont know what it is. I dont like talking about my religion to others, I honestly feel that Lauren is the only person to truely know what and how I feel about it.
I sit in church, daydreaming if you want to call it that, and think about if I brought some of my fam to church with me would they make a crucial decision in their lives? Would God move them or maybe would they help themselves? I wouldn't pressure them, cause I feel its something that people need to find themselves. Sometimes stuff happens and you dont know why, or you can see the good side of a rainy day; or wake up refreshed from a good night sleep; or confess that you need help in life and might not see something that moment, but it will happen when you need it.
I challenge my fam and friends to seek something more than what you see in everyday life. Seek the reason why the birds sing at 7am with no alarm clock, or the reason clouds form. You might be able to say "science" by I challenge you to figure out how "science" got here....

I feel this post. I'm a very spiritual person and a active church member. I still don't feel totally comfortable with talking about God with everyone.
I have a friend that I know needs some church. But, i can't pressure him. I'm just praying that he will see the light.

I see where you and the other person who made a comment on this post are coming from. that's kind of how i used to feel about my relationship with God until i heard a different take on the whole "my personal relationship" concept. i don't remember exactly who told me this but now i believe its true- you come to God as an individual, no one can make you do it...it's your own decision. but after you make the wonderful choice to live for Him the enemy would love for us to keep our experiences to ourselves. because when we do that, God's love stays a secret. i'm by no means condemning your uncomfort with sharing what God means to you, i'm just encouraging you to continue to take steps of faith (like the one you took by sharing on your blog) with concern to showing the world who's numero uno in your life. it's not our job to save people (its impossible for us to do that- God's got that handled by Himself) but there is nothing wrong with pointing a person in the right direction. these days, things like a simple church invite are taken so defensively so don't be surprised if an attempt to share God or even a small comment on Him is received with a slap in the face. I mean think about it, Jesus was crucified because people didn't like what he had to say. i'm sure the worst that could happen to us could never compare. keep on keeping on B!
