1017 Words5 Pages

In my younger years of life my heritage; such as my family of origin did not have a negative or positive aspect with my relationship with God. My family did not really talk to me about our religion but, I knew we were Christians due to some of the spiritual figures and bibles placed around my house. I would rarely go to church with my family except on holiday’s such as; Easter and Mother’s Day. My family never baptized me or made sure that I was saved.

I was able to establish my relationship with God while, at the same time being around my peers. At one point, almost all my friends in elementary was attending this church. Unfortunately, once I moved away from the area in the sixth grade, I stopped attending church.
Some of the most important people who influenced my journey with God is as previously mentioned my best friend from elementary school. As I got older, my influenced evolved more around my mother. My mother would always tell me she’s praying or tell me to pray whenever, I was going through a difficult time. Lastly, my most current influence with my journey had to be from a psychic.
My mountain top that made me feel the closest with God is also a time period where I was struggling with my faith. This past September, I had a lot of things going wrong in my life all at one time. For example, I recently bought a new car. I was told that this car was dependable and going to last me a very long time. That statement was a total lie. I was only able to drive my car for two months before, I needed a major repair on it. This major repair was a completely rebuilt transmission which, was going to cost me a little over 2,000

    Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

    I was raised as a Christian and embraced the faith for many years. During this time, I read the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, rejecting all other religions as bogus, believing that Christianity was the only true pathway to God and salvation. It was while studying at the University of the West Indies that I began to question the rationality of my beliefs. The churches that I had attended were Anglican and Missionary, and the doctrines of many other denominations were alien to me. So I invited Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons into my home and engaged them in conversations regarding their beliefs, as well as entertaining dialogue with Roman Catholics, Seventh-day Adventists, Pentecostals and others.

    C.S. Lewis once said, “I believe in Christ, like I believe in the sun- not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else.” I have used this quote as a guide for myself throughout my journey to finding the Lord. Putting my faith into someone “intangible” and having faith in Christ has not been an easy task for me, given I was not raised in an extremely religious household. However, I was about fourteen when I discovered God’s word, felt my heart swell with happiness, and fell in love with Christ. That day changed my life entirely, and completely changed my outlook of the world.
