The “G” word.

What exactly is the “G” word? Are you brave enough to say it, to talk about it, to be saved by it? How did you grow up? Did you live in a house where church every Sunday was mandatory, or did you discover God at a later date? I am going to tell you a little bit about my story with God.

When I was younger I went to church with Grandma every single Sunday. I went to Sunday school, bible camp, bible study, even participated in the plays that were put on around the holidays. I started to grow up and church became a thing that was not important to me anymore. I had sleepovers to attend, and sleep to catch up on. Events started happening in my life and I could not comprehend how God could be real and this stuff could happen so I decided that God wasn’t real. I stopped going to church I stopped believing in God. I cut it all off.

This went on for a good 7 or 8 years. Then I fell into a family who followed God like no other. I started going back to church and even got baptized. I started reading the bible, praying, and attended church when I wasn’t working. Here is what I learned from going to church and not going to church. When you don’t have a greater power to follow it is so easy to go down a bad path. When there is nobody to answer to and nothing to believe in what are you living for? The answer is pretty much nothing. When you don’t have a set of guidelines to follow you begin to do whatever you want. When I got back into church I felt something greater than me again. I began to believe in something greater than myself and my life started to follow. Blessings started coming and I truly became a better person when faith came back.

I will never be a perfect person, I will never not make mistakes but I will continue to follow God. I will continue to have faith in his plan for me and continue to try my hardest to carry out the plans he has for me. I am not sitting here saying that you have to believe in God. Any religion is a good one to me. Anything that gives you something bigger to believe in. Something to follow and give you a reason to continue on even in the darkest times. Keep going. God loved each and every one of us exactly how we are made.

I pray that everyone finds God and raises their children to believe in God. I hope  and pray that this world continues to find a greater purpose and understands that God has the answers.

God Bless.

As always thank you for following my journey.

Peace & Love,

Kathryn
