I (Jessicah) am sure most of you know that I'm not the most religious-type of person. Spiritual, yes. My lack of understanding for other religions has made me stereotype... yeah that really shows my ignorance. For that, I am not proud of.
Last year I accidentally ran in to a college that is founded on the Christian teachings and the character of Jesus Christ. It seems the past few months I find myself curious about the Christian religion and the facts of it. I will not believe something just because I was told that I "should" from a younger age.
I promised myself (after several religious affiliations since the age of like 13ish) I'd never submit to any "religion". I believe in God. I believe Jesus was real. I believe he was crucified for what he fully believed in. The rest; well I'm still searching for my answers.
With the help of my best friend, Jenna, we seemed to have come up with a amateur bible study. One that fits "us" for the time being. We exchange facts about the bible, both new and old testament. It's the history that intrigues me, but I want true history and facts! It is unreal to me how many found artifacts have backed up events in the bible.
I'm not quite sure if I am ready to commit myself to church every Sunday. I do want a place to go to where we are surrounded by positive people. Peace of mind is more important to me than anything. I want my girls to grow up in a loving home that has some kind of foundation to it.
The title to this post is a question that my Grandma has always asked me. :) The answer... well I don't have a straight forward one yet. I will let you know when I do. Right now, it's a struggle between Joe and I to find a happy medium. I've asked him to go with me to church on a Sunday EVENING (he is not a morning person) and he's agreed to this. I told him he can look at it as a "history lesson" since he loves history so much! -Jessicah
