Just wanted to take a moment and say hello to everyone, and take a moment to share my belief and faith.
I am a very spiritual individual, though that doesn't keep me from living life to the fullest. I am a very welcoming, and friendly individual, and enjoy the opportunity to talk about faith and the happiness it it may provide if you let it into your life.
I feel a very strong personal connection to spirituality and belief, though I think at times too much attention is given to giving it a name, and too little to what it means to us. An understanding that this world is so much bigger than ourselves might make us feel belittled or scared, but through understanding and faith we may expand our lives and the happiness we may provide for ourselves and others. It is this selfless giving of ourselves that provide us with opportunity to receive everything we may be waiting for. In the moments of true selflessness we may be given the most, and follow in the spirit.
I tend to not use the name of God, as it means so very much in very different ways. Some may feel a disconnection from others as they don't share the experience to say "I know God is his name". I reply simply 'That's okay. Open yourself to receive, and he will show you" because I know with every fiber of my being, every breath I am given, every opportunity I see, every smile someone gives me...There is something much bigger than us all, and I hope to share that with everyone.
I tend to enjoy wearing shorts and being outdoors; As unrelated as it may seem, it means more than you might think. I've been very passionate about faith from a very young age, and through my experience with different organizations and beliefs, I grew tired of formal congregations and meetings where I was told what to believe. I have taken a vastly different road in my spirituality, and I hope to share it with anyone that may have ever felt alone or like they didn't belong. I didn't belong in my Fathers church, or my Mothers. Both attending vastly different facilities with their families, both extending a hand to ensure I was made to feel unwelcome.
It was not until I grew older that my faith expanded exponentially, and I have come to where I am now. I felt at that young age that I needed to be in a building with others who would share the same belief, to truly understand my faith. So untrue, I see now of my thoughts back then. I have grown to understand the strength and passion in and from faith and my own connection to spirituality. I feel spiritually alive and connected in a way I was unaware was possible, without the attendance of a church or a Sunday gathering. I have come to understand that faith and spirituality isn't about my attendance in a group or place, but rather my own personal connection with something far greater and far more powerful than I. It is through this understanding and enlightenment that I have grown so very passionate and I enjoy and am thankful for every opportunity to share it.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, and feel free to share the opportunity.
