[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 75140, member: 3837"] I have a very strong faith in God, but I also consider this very personal. I do not attend church for many reasons, but mainly because I don't agree with what goes on in many of the churches I've attended. I believe my relationship with God is just that, my relationship. I share my strong beliefs with my children, but I also encourage them to find out more about other religions. I wish I knew more about other religions. I had a friend once who was constantly preaching to me to attend her church to go to church. I don't do this, I don't push my religion on anyone, ever. I'm more than happy to share my beliefs, but only if asked or if the subject comes up. I pray regularly and I live my life with values and morals. I believe in teaching my kids to be good to others and this is what it means to be a good Christian. I don't necessarily believe in the 10 commandments. I don't believe I have to ask for forgiveness because I cursed when I stubbed my toe. I do believe I have to ask for forgiveness if I cursed at my husband though, even if he deserved it. LOL Have you heard the song "Angels Among Us" by Alabama? I believe that this song holds true, that there are many people in our lives that are there because God knew we needed them. I believe the people of this board are just that, Angels Among Us. My faith gets me through many trials, including issues with my difficult children. Some days I'll pray and just let God know we're okay and I appreciate all he's done. Some days I'm asking God to give me some guidance, because I'm at my wits end. I wish you luck with the church. I hope it brings you comfort and support. [/QUOTE]
