I was raised a Roman Catholic, and
although we went to church most Sundays and attended religion
classes regularly, I never really lived the faith. No,
I wasn't part of the C&E crowd that only thought of it at
Christmas and Easter. I had moments that I truly believed god was listening,
got goose-bumps when talking in our confirmation classes, I was an alter server
for years and even did some time in the choir. Throughout my life I never felt
like I truly lived the religion.
I think we all need to have bad things
happen in our lives to really appreciate the good moments. In January of 2010 I
found myself in the worst emotional place of my life and I couldn't see the
light at the end of the tunnel. I don't mean to preach my views onto
others so please just read this subjectively. But I turned to god, I
prayed for his help and he answered my prayers. You can call it fate or
coincidence but I truly believe that there is something else out there that
helped me and I call that something god.
I'm not big on religion, I don't feel like
I need to be in a church on Sunday to have faith, but I do support the basic
values. I believe in treating others how you'd want to be treated, putting
other’s needs above your own, consciously living your life with open-eyes and
meaningful actions, being an honest hard working member of society, and above
all: loving with all of my heart.
