Every since I've gotten to Spelman, it just seems like my life has just took a turn for the worse. It seems like prayers constantly go unanswered. I still believe, but I can truly say that I've lost a lot of my faith while I've been here.
Yes I believe in HIM. I was raised to believe in him, but then again I was also raised to believe any and everything people say concerning the Bible/religion, read and find out for yourself. I did this and it just made my faith in God even stronger. God has definitely guided me through some very tough times!!!
Do you believe in Him? What made you believe in Him?
Do i believe in him? SURELY. What made me believe in Him? The joy that i feel when i'm truly close to Him. Fact of the matter is, when i'm not working on my relationship with God, and seeking Him daily, life gets unbearable. To me, it isn't about Him making everything perfect in life. Becuz if it wasn't for the trials, i wouldn't be as strong as i am today. But the beautiful thing about him is that even when everything isn't great and perfect, He's a God that will yet and still grant u comfort & a peace of mind. But u gotta have TRUE faith in Him.
and Kool, when u were on that mountain top, "something" didn't stop u from pulling that trigger...SOMEONE did. That was the Lord. He had u here for a reason. He isn't done with u yet.
I believe in god, although there are things that i have a hard time believing when it comes to christianty (mainly the bible), therefore i cannot say that i am truely am a christian. if you need further explanation i can explain, hit me up anytime.

Cosigns^^^ and ditto on hitting me up as to why I believe in the one True G-d, but am not a Christian or any other sect that worships Jesus.
I do believe in God, but not because of church. The chuches ive been to are turning u against people rather than toward faith in God. I jus do not like when other religions are insulted in church, thats not what its supposed to be about.
Yes, I believe in God because He is the reason why I made it through this year. Growing up as a Preacher's Kid was never easy, and I know I got a calling on my life, I'm trying to figure that one out now...
I am still here, despite dropping out of school, fallin out wit friends, no job, or money...but I know that God will never place on you more than you can bear...
It hasn't been easy...I have asked myself several times in the last 3 months, why am I here on this earth, why am I home when everyone else is in college? I have been battling depression since the summer, and even contemplated **** more than once, but God stepped in and said "Im not through with you yet" and even tho I haven't COMPLETELY surrendered to Him, it still amazes me how God always got my back...and it's because of Him that I'm gonna make it through all this craziness...there's a BLESSING in the storm, I KNOW that for a fact.
I tried (and still do), but its gotten hard for me to trust Him these days. I haven't done nobody wrong. I dont drink & do **** (not in the past year), I dont hurt people, I dont **** people (altho I've had good reason to). I dont rob anybody. I dont sell dope. I just work and try to help my folks out when I can. But it seems like the dishonest & corrupt always have it best. I dunno. Everything's in limbo right now.
My Brother
There are only so many words that I can enter here that you haven't heard before.
Let me start by saying this all gifts aren't Godly. Evil influences offer undeserved riches and treasures to those who further a corrupt and suspect agenda. Worldly possessions are just that worldly. Being caught up in them and the attainment of them will advance self destructive behaviors. Know that what is for you is for you. What you have to do now is understand what you need to do in order to attain happiness and comfort.
God does not bless man with things he blesses him with opportunities and man must make the most of them.
Think about the opportunities he has shared with you.

I litterally begged God for some direction in my life, but its like I'm stuck in an open desert with no compass. At one point last year, I almost **** myself during Spring 2004 finals. I sat on the mountaintop one night with a 9mm baretta with 1 bullet in it. Something told me not to, but things haven't gotten any better since then.
God won't show you where to take your life. You have free will. You choose to live in his will or outside of it. Ask God for clarity and a discerning spirit to help you see through the various choices you have laid before you. Make the best choice between those offered.
I too am on a spiritual journey. I lay claim to no religion. My study now is of one to ascertain what truly make one a Man of God. This belief in a spiritual compass is the motivation for my constant studies into all religions not just Christianity.
You are facing what many men have met.
Be encouraged my brother.
