I Like To Call Myself A Spiritual Christian

I like to call myself a spiritual Christian. I was raised in a non-denomination church which I love very much. I how ever do not go to church every Sunday, pray every night, or read the bible daily. I do go to church when I feel I need it. I do pray a lot. Sometimes I pray three times a day and sometimes I don't pray at all during the day. I do have a bible by my bed that I read occasionally when I feel it calling to me.

I prefer to have my own personalized relationship with the Lord. What I do now is what he and I have agreed on. This works for me.

I question my faith sometimes. Not in the way you think though. I question it in ways like asking God if how I worship him is the correct way. Who is to say that the way I as a christian worship god is the absolute correct way.

I also sometimes wonder about reincarnation, past lives, and if hell is real. I would like to think that most of us have had these questions float through our minds. The bible gives us the answer to all of these questions I know. But we can't truly know until we pass.

I undoubtedly know that the Lord is real or at least a higher power that be is real. Something higher than humans had to have helped create our universe and what ever lie past it.

I like to think about buddhism, hinduism, and mythology. Many questions run through my mind about the stories and tales that are told about each. I still firmly say that I am a christian but I do wonder about each of them. Were there once Gods and Goddesses ruling the universe or were those all simply spun tales for entertainment?

I have so many questions and not a lot of firm answers, just my faith and many translated texts. I believe that it is healthy to explore your religion along with others. I don't care what religion you are or if you don't have one at all... it is good to question our existence... to be curious about it.

I like to call myself a spiritual Christian because I think I have a spiritual relationship with God. I have questions and wonders just like everyone else. I just can't bring myself to put myself in a box and make my religious beliefs so specific. So, I call myself a spiritual and constantly wondering Christian.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
