Anyone have one? Mine's a bit rocky, and I fall off the wagon at times and drink too much, lust and cuss, but it's there. Recharges my batteries to go to church.

Just cause i'm a christian..i'm not claiming to be any better of a person than anyone else..I still make mistakes just like everyone, but it's how i deal with it and how i choose to live my life that is different than if i chose not to be a christian. Jesus is my saving grace for every part of my life...Marriage, personal, children..just everything!

I think that Jesus was a wonderful man. I think that at best he was a prophet. At worst, he was an extraordinary human being who set a wonderful example for mankind to follow and had a good relationship with God.

As far as church goes, I stay away. It's been a long time for me, too many terrible memories from when I was younger I suppose.

i'm not the strongest believer. my parents didnt baptise me or anything cus they wanted that to be my choice, just like i want my baby to be able to decide that.a couple years ago i lived in an all catholic town and dealt with alot of ignorance because i wasnt part of that church and what not. i guess that kind of made me feel like i had to do what they wanted in order to be considered a believer. i had to read the bible in school, where as i think it should be read when people are ready to read and educate themselves. i believe, but i just want to be free in the way that i do it. i think religion is really more of a personal thing.

I do have a relationship with Jesus, though, like many I tend to fall off from time to time. I have found that when I'm really struggling, He is there to help ease the pain.

And most recently with this whole breakup thing I've been going through I've realized that I'm tired of doing things my way (trying to find a man to fit what I need) and instead I've decided to do it God's way. When the time is right and I'm fully healed from heartache, etc. God will bring that someone to me.

I'm working on strengthening my relationship with Jesus though, because if He is for you, then no one can be against you.
