GOD Hears All, Faith Is Key.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend about God and he showed me that he was listening Sunday morning.

Last week I had a conversation with a friend about God. We were talking about life after death and how it was a struggle to believe in something that you haven't experienced. We talked about Ressurection, what happens when you die, and if there even is life after death. We talked for hours about how we feel guilty for questioning our faith and God. Faith is believing in what you can't see. We are taught to believe in things that we can see, but what about things that we can't?

Sunday, a few days after we had that conversation, I went to church and my pastor began the service by asking for the definition of Faith. He waited for a moment and then he proceeded to tell us that everyone one of us has a different interpretation of Faith. Faith is choosing to believe in what we cannot see. Trusting in the unknown.

I was shocked, tears filled my eyes and I cried. Tears flowed continuously down my face, and whilst I felt guilty, joy filled my heart. God heard me and sent me answers through my pastor. While I am certain the message wasn't only intended for me, I needed that message at that time.

"Our fear and doubt can create mountains, but our faith can move them" -Unknown

No matter how bad things get you have to have Faith. No matter what is going on in your life, Faith is going to be your biggest help. Faith is the truest measure of our strength and will. The circumstances that we face in life are just collateral damage in circumstances that you face during your battle of keeping confidence in god.

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.
