I'm concentrating alot on believing in God these days. I've always prayed. I see everything crashing down and all I can do is think of this image in my head.
I'm sitting at a pue in a beautiful dim lit church. And there is a choir quietly singing O' Holy night. I'm praying on my knees and my head is laying on the pue in front of me.....and it's just me and God. I want to stay here forever, because this is where I feel I belong. Maybe this is why I don't talk so much. Maybe I'm just praying. Maybe I am "peace being still". But, I have to say that if you were God-like, you would be sad. You would suffer from all the pain in the world. You would suffer that there was suffering. I feel God is where peace is, and that's where I belong. This is my personal relationship with God. I am born and raised Catholic, but this is my personal relationship with my religion and God. I've always been this way, and I've always feared being away from God. I don't mean to get into the rules of religion, or discuss why I shouldn't believe what I believe. But, I would like to rant about being close to God as I know it. It sounds crazy, but I think I have gone crazy actually. But, when I think of being in this church, for some reason, I don't feel crazy. I feel I am exactly where I should be. There! That's my crazy rant! Please don't throw Fruit-Loops at me. I really like to share my thoughts when I can. Thanks for letting me, Winter Posted on 11/07/09, 01:11 am |

How is that crazy?
Religion may just be one form of god.... To know it there are millions of other forms, and most are hidden.... I don't understand however, the obsession with the love for god - I can understand that feeling from the world, but, I'd rather play safe in case it's not all it's cracked up to be. You need to look at all sides.

ooookfine, I agree with the sensitive people having a hard go in this world. It does seem that the more destructive minded and selfish you are, the further you get in life. It's a shame. I'm actually struggling with one of those people right now. But, I'm hoping that if I don't buy into their taunts, then she can't really hurt me. I'm hoping that my personal peace and selflove will disarm her distructive behavior. somehow.
Nikita, those are kind words and I'll consider looking into that. Thank you. Winter

ooooo Gigers, hi. With all due respect, I have looked. I have been in all sorts of uncomfortable places spiritually and physically to see what I believe. I am on a journey, just as you are. It just seems as though, I come right back to this place (the image i spoke of.) That's what I meant by "this is where I feel I belong". I've tried other things, and this works for me.
I didn't really want to get into defending my view. But, I have a "love for God", because God resembles Peace to me. I have a love for peace. If there are other forms, and they are in fact hidden, I'm sure they don't mind that we could not see them. Thank you for replying. I get what you're saying. Winter

Winter...you have a good foundation to gain strength from...its a path that most of us have had to take to find our place in the world.
Everyone's path maybe different....some may believe in God..others in Allah. Some in Native American, Pagan Wicca.Hindu, buddhist, atheist, agnostic ...you see the path emerging. Your also getting some wonderful advise from people with different paths that have helped them through this life. Learn from them...find what works for you ...and then grab on with both hands and your heart - for it will be the ride of a life time. Find the greater Good with in yourself. Good luck on your journey...Many Blessings to you.

If you can sit quietly, and be calm, rest and relax, God will find you. If you cannot, God will find you. God is never lost. At least, every time God was gone, I found that it was not God who moved. The key, I think, is what you touched: Personal. God is personal for each of us. Bless your search for peace. You are sure to find it, or it will find you.
