Your Faith Story!
Hello everyone, how're you all doing?
I haven't written anything in a while, and I apologize fr that. I have been super busy...
So, I decided to try something new, and we'll see how it works.
I am asking you to tell me/everyone else about your own faith story.
It could be anything from your life's religious journey, to a personal story about a funny event, or anything.
It's YOUR turn to share with me/everyone else whatever you want.
Keep in mind it has to be respectful/clean or I will take it off.
But other than that, I give you freedom to write whatever you want that has to do with the topic of faith.
Looking forward to reading them!
Remember, KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
Thanks, and I promise to write soon, as long as at least two people comment!
Peace to all and God bless!
Your sister and witness in Christ,
Emily
P.S. Some topics to come include:
Witnessing in/to Christ
Prayer
Homosexuality/Gay Marriage, perhaps with a special guest?
and others, send me the topics YOU want answered here.
And now, go comment!

My story starts off to when I was born. Right away I was baptized at a Luthern Church, Lord Of Life. For years I went there and attended Sunday school as a child. But soon I just lost interest and stopped going. I started going to the worship service that the adults would go to with my mom and dad. After going to worship service for a while with my parents I realized that it was a lot better use of my time then going to Sunday school. I loved all the stories the pasture told and enjoyed all the history that was discussed. Even though I didn’t understand it all and was too young to be really interested in it, It made a huge impact on my life. Soon I was old enough to go to c3 (conformation group). I had a friend that lived two blocks from me, and we would always go to church together, and were in the same group all three years of c3. Looking back on those days of conformation, I feel badly about my attitude towards it, and how little I participated in it. While everyone else was singing, and enjoying themselves, I would sit there and say “this is stupidâ€, or some other dumb comment. During small group time I didn’t pay attention. My group was wonderful, I loved hanging out with them at c3. They were all very nice and we got along great. If I could change anything in my past it would have to be the way I acted and my attitude towards c3 and my faith. The reason I had such a bad attitude about church and c3 was because I was angry with god. I had no reason to be, but I was. I was mad because I have a disability. I have a condition called Hypotonia. Short definition of that is severely decreased muscle tone. This does make my life very challenging at times and frustrating. I was angry at him for making me this way. This all changed in 11th grade. I realized that I had ignored god, and my faith for all these years and that needed to change. No longer could I live ignoring god and my faith. Then I got to thinking, am I really Luthern? I had always just gone along with what my parents believed, without thinking about whether or not I believed that. So I decided to research. After days of research and comparisons, I determined that I am Catholic. Catholic and Luthern religions are very similar in some ways, but also have there differences. I do not go to a Catholic church, but I still have my own practices of Catholic religion such as worshiping through music, prayers, and other activities. My journey of faith has been long, and confusing at times, but im glad I figured out who I really am, and have god to guide me through. I have had a lot of hard times in life, surgeries, sleep studys, and other medical issues. Many struggles have been in my life, but I always pulled through because god was there to see me through it and help me out. He is always watching over me and there for me when I need him.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don\'t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
