Faith Autobiography
I experienced childhood in a Christian home with my mom filling in as the spirtual leader of the family. She often reminded me (however on occasionally, it felt more like bothering) to peruse my Bible and Faith. We at times had great discussions about faith, and she clarified why she cared about my excellence in faith. In spite of the fact that I was grateful for a mother who tended to me, I couldn't have cared less about my advancement. However, I was still on the voyage, and similarly as with most trips, I didn't navigate this alone. A dear companion of mine in secondary school tested me on numerous religious issues, and I had no answers. Her inquiries planted seeds of uncertainty inside me; I trusted that uncertainty was the indication of my loss of faith, towards God. I ended up confounded and disturbed, lost of religious inquiries and thoughts, which in the long run made me ended up exhausted with Christianity and progressively inquisitive about different religions.
While getting a charge out of a short submersion into a Christian camp, I knew in the back of my mind I would not neglect the Christian faith.

I ended up at a basic intersection in my adventure, and I settled on the choice to look for after Christ. In any case, in my senior year diary, there isn't one specify of God or my craving to look for Him. It appeared I had bombed, yet Christ did not flop on His piece of the understanding: regardless he looked for after me.
My adventure took me to Paine College, where I am currently attending and trying to find out about Christian people group and kinship, and truth pressures in Scripture. Paine helped me end up in a good environment; companions, educators and coaches permitted and urged me to find my identity and god's identity calling me to be. At Paine I encountered the delights and preliminaries of living in Christian people group. While it was urging and energizing to live with individual Christians, life at Paine was difficult. There was the time when I discovered my first year flat mate trusted ladies shouldn't be in service. Until the point that this point I had gullibly expected all Christians were uniform in their convictions, so I didn't know how to react. This lone turned out to be additionally wrong as I discovered there were individual Christians there, some who were dear companions of mine, who held unexpected perspectives...
