Does God Exist?

The Answer Is Simple

Does God Exist?
Wikipedia

Does God exist? This question for me is considered very controversial. I feel that if I consider asking the question I am questioning my faith. I immediately agree that he must exist. Those beautiful landscapes that dress the earth had to be created by a genius. What we really have to ask ourselves now is why are we afraid to question?

Jehovah witness

I had started attending Jehovah witness meetings since I was in my mother's womb. I dressed pretty and took notes. But one day I just stopped going. I felt dirty in a way. I convinced myself that I was a sinner and that God would no longer answer my prayers. When I wasn't going to the meetings my mother would sometimes guilt trip me. I would get visitations from the sisters who would proceed to giving me Bible lessons. I felt like a bad person.

Now

Currently I am twenty three working adult. I see the world through different lenses. I believe that we are so preoccupied looking for answers we do not see what is in front of us. We have so many different religions who are yelling at the world that they are the right path. We often go with the one that best suits us. Which is the right religion?

1 John 4:8


"The person who doesn't love does not know God, because God is love" We show we know God when we love, He is love. Regardless if your neighbor is gay, Muslim, black, white etc we have to love them. It's going to be hard in this world that is fueled by hate and ignorance but let's start with you, Have you loved today?

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
