I must say what goes on in my mind during the day is hardly understandable. I have strong beliefs, and stronger feelings yet together it makes a confusing place in my brain. The best way I can explain it is that my mind is like a never-ending word association game. One thing sparks another, then another, then another, so fast that when I reach the end I don't know how I got there from where I started.

Example- My friend will be talking to me about schoolwork and she'll mention
history. My mind will then start thinking about the Holocaust (what
we're learning in history right now) will will lead me to think about the
book Night. Which makes me think of my plans for the night
and if I have time to go bowling with my friends. This all happens in a
matter of seconds and I'll say "How much does bowling cost?" When
my friend is still on the topic of homework. Without knowing what I
was thinking that sounds very random. But it all connects.

This is what goes on in my brain all the time, every second of every day. I have learned that to learn one must explore, ask questions, and doubt. Many people who know me say I have great faith and ask me how I can believe in a God who you cannot see, my answer may confuse them. It is because I doubt and ask questions. By doubting I see doubt does nothing, and it strengthens my faith for I have nothing to doubt. By asking questions I find the answers all lead to a God.

I have to go now but I'll finish this later.

    That was interesting. I think you are a fascinating person. Now those that don't believe in God would have us believe that this was all an accident. Well, the odds that this is all an accident are astronomical. And to think that life would just start accidentily and then develop perfectly to what we are today without a guiding hand lacks credibility for me. Just think of all the complexity of our biological systems working together. One would have to win the lottery at least ten times for those odds to occur. Now I don't know exactly what God is like, and perhaps we have misunderstood Him and not realized that there may be constraints on Him too, but I do think that God exists and is in our lives.

    I think it's very great that you have such faith!!! Recently I've been graced so much, with so much love, and I know it is the most unintelligent thing to deny God, I believe he's the creator and source. An infinite God, who loves us because he is infinite love. And a personal God as well, I believe in, like Christianity...keep it up! I think everyone should love God. There are very beautiful verses in the Upanishads about the Lord of Love. They've taught me so much. As for people not understanding why you believe in an invisible God, there is no convincing them with arguments, the only thing you can do is treat them with humble love. I say your faith is a good thing and I advise you to keep strengthening it, because I have complete faith that God exists, that he loves us, and that our future is very, very bright. Peace, Alex
