Keeping Faith

Faith is my middle name, so I always have it.

I know that’s a bad joke but it does help me remember to keep it.

Everything happens for a reason whether it’s good or bad.

Good things remind you the reason to keep going and

bad things help make you stronger.

It’s God’s way of keeping us on our toes.

I was raised in a Christian home, Baptist, to be a little more specific.

I was taught that Jesus is our savior and that

He died on the cross for our sins.

With that being said, I’m not closed minded when it comes to religion.

I’m not saying Catholics are wrong just like I’m not saying

Muslim’s, Jew’s, Pagan’s, and every other person is wrong for

their beliefs.

You must decide for yourself what you believe.

Just because you grew up in a home that is Baptist does not mean

you have to continue it. You’ll still have the respect for them in your

heart but you are allowed to discover who and what you are.

I, myself, am still figuring out what I believe, but because I have

studied about many other religions and god’s,

even the Greek and Egyptian gods,

I have an idea of what other people believe. I think that alone,

makes me respect their heritage and just them as humans.

I have an insight of their history and that is

one of the most amazing things to me.

Lastly, you don’t have to be “religious.”

There are so many people who like to kind of force the term

“religious” on everyone. They tell you that you HAVE to believe

this or that and you HAVE to do this and you cannot do that.

If you have faith that you will pass your test or if you have faith

that your car won’t stall going over train tracks,

then that’s all you need. Faith isn’t one thing.

It’s knowing and hoping that you will do or experience

something positive. You are allowed to go and find your

own way and your own faith.

Sun Sets and Rises

Being little and starting school is scary but it also gives you chance
to meet people, to make friends. I feel like when your just starting school

everyone is so easy to get along with. Sure, we all had the people we liked to
hang out with more than others, but that’s just the way things go.

All in all everyone was classified as a “friend.”

One day however, you must start growing. You must discover your likes and
dislikes, what makes you happy, what makes you sad, and so much more.

It takes a lot to discover who you are and even as adults we learn new things
about ourselves. Sometimes, that means we have to branch out and meet
new people, make new friends, and maybe step away from the old ones.

After high school, you will meet some amazing new people.

People that will become your friend. Then, you will graduate from college or get
a new job and then you may lose contact with them. If you do, don’t feel upset
about it, you may get back in contact with them, you may not.

You may even find someone you went to high school with.

You will learn, if you haven’t already, that people come and go as often as
the sun rises and sets. Not everything is going to last forever.

It is up to you to embrace that and to never take a friendship or experience for
granted because each one is special and each one is a memory.

First Post

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my first blog, post, thingy. I’m not really sure what to call it. I’m also not sure what to put in my first one either, so I will just tell you what my posts will be about. 

I will be writing about my favorite books, movies, TV shows, songs, and so many more of those things. I will also be writing about different things I’ve read about and my views on different subjects. I’m open to read and learn about anything. I will always try, within reason, different things. I also want to write about things that have happened recently like me moving, Christmas, a trip I’ve been on. Also, I will be writing about my memories. 

 Enough with all the boring stuff, I am hoping to post at least once a week, maybe twice. As of right now, this is it for this one. I hope you enjoy my future posts; stay strong.
