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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
