Written April 2004:
“The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.”-Exodus 15:2
I chose this particular verse because I believe strongly in having good faith and always being confident. I also selected this because it tells that I will always believe in God and my family when I feel that I am alone or I feel that I am weak. This verse means quite a lot to me because I used to not be a strong person and ever since I got really into religion and I read this one quote and I just realized I really do need this. This can apply to my life because if you are in real troubled times, you can look back and remember that you are a strong person and that you do have someone that loves you. It also applies because you don’t realize it but when you pray to God, it really shows faith and respect, you have taken him into your own heart and this is all you need to survive.
I have felt God many times in my life, through the good and bad. The first time that I had really felt God was when my first pet I have had died. It was a dog, golden retriever, name Brandy. I was quite young and I had never felt so much pain in my life. I thought my world would come to an end. I cried and cried and wouldn’t stop. I was praying all through the time that my dog was in the hospital. They came out and had told us that she had passed away but told us that it really was time for her to go. I felt like God had been telling me to understand that everyone has time to go and that was her time. She was suffering and I didn’t want her to suffer anymore so I realized God was a huge part of my life at that time.
Another time that I have felt God is when one of my friends was mad at me and another friend, because of a project. Me personally I don’t like having anyone mad at me so I get kind of upset. This one was a little different though, because she had told me and my friend that we we’re too religious. I was very insulted, but I didn’t say anything to her because its true that I am very religious but I didn’t think there was anyway to be too religious. When I had got home that day, I had this feeling that you are your own person and you have your own faith, so why care what other people say about it? My friend never really forgave us but she still is talking to us. It is the worst thing when someone insults something that is very strong to you like for me my religion. I just feel God telling me that don’t listen to anyone but yourself and go the way you want to.
I feel ready to take on the responsibility of continuing my faith journey because I for one take it very seriously. Ever since the bible had come into my hand I realized that I am my own person and always loved by my father above. I plan on continuing practicing these studies and learning about the lord in church. I also plan on going and believing in the Lord when times get hard and knowing that I can get through them. I lastly plan on having my future family and children practicing this faith and to know that you are your own person and your faith will always be with you, and God will always love you no matter what you plan on doing in life. The Lord is your and my strength, may God bless it.
