Some Much Needed INSPIRATION:

So for those of you who know me, know that I am a christian who is trying to live a life worthy of god every single day.  I just talked to one of my very best friends Katie Klezek and just feel so inspired by our talk and by her.  We talked about some things that have been on my mind a lot and just thought that I would share.

I sometimes find it very hard to be a christian, especially on a college campus when you are surrounded by people who do not believe in the same thing as you and who just don’t understand why you believe what you believe.  Many people often don’t understand why I believe in God because there cant be “a little man up in the sky who controls everything” or that there can not be a God because of things like War and If there is a God, why do bad things happen to good people?  Many people believe it is not real since we can’t see Jesus, heaven and hell.  There are also just many people who have never been exposed to religion in general, let along faith and God.

I would be lying if I said that I have never doubted my faith before, because I have.  I think all christians have at some point or another.  Sometimes I begin to wonder the same things that other people around me do.  I am not able to see Jesus in human form and there may be not scientific evidence of heaven and hell, however when I take a step back, none of that matters.  It doesn’t matter that I can not see Jesus in human form because I see him working through the actions and lives of strangers and people who are close to me who are also seeking to live a life worthy of god.  It is indescribable the love that comes from these human beings.  You can just tell that there is something different about them and that there is just something greater then themselves working through them to get to me and to all of us.  

Something I learned yesterday was that we were not created to walk aimlessly and to be monks in a field.  We were created to involve ourselves in relationships with others that will greatly enrich our lives.  We were created to serve others and to love others.  I know that for me at least, it is my relationships with other christians and my need to serve others that fill me up.  I have gone through times in my life where I have just felt so empty and now realize that it was because I had no one pouring into me and more importantly, I was not pouring into anybody else.
