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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
