I Like To Call Myself A Spiritual Christian
Facebook

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
