I'm going to tackle down this subject for my own benefit, because I need to not just say my beliefs but write it down, so one day I can look back on it, and read through my thoughts as a sixteen year old. Since I can remember I have been attending the same church, I do remember trying other churches, but Vineyard of the Rockies was in a way my second home. A lot of the care that took place for me as a child was special to me, it was a place I always looked forward to during my weekends, I knew from a very early age that I loved God, because surrounding me were people that also showed me how much God was in power, and how much Jesus loved me. I took the basics with me back home and grew on that for awhile, and I started praying and developing my own faith that has revealed my character through time. I do think through things though, I don't just believe in God because it's how I was raised, but it is how I was raised to be. I always had the choice to believe what I wanted to, but attending church, and the songs sung in gratitude to God with everyone just fills my gap that my real dad could never do for me. It's my faith that is a constant for me, sometimes I don't have it very often but it's always there it's embedded in me. Faith conquers over religion I do believe though in my opinion. Religion takes what God is all about into just rules and guilt, and some do fine in their life time and others don't know God's true love for us and his individuality he gave us, he didn't make us to be all the same all thinking the same. God gave us a consience, feelings, morals, knowledge, and beauty. There is nothing I can do about the way other people think, but I can rest in the moments feeling content myself.
