Faith

In response to my last post my lovely blogger friend C.C. asked me to write about my faith, my spiritual views, and how they impact my life. 

I haven't written extensively about faith. By checking my FAITH tag I found only two entries: 

"Why God?" and Faith & Why can't Christians keep their faith to themselves?
Just re-read both of those, and they're pretty good, if I say so myself :-P.


I am a person of faith. I am a Christian. I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I'm a prayer. I pray. Not as much as I should, probably. I believe in the power of prayer. 

I believe my faith shapes me as a person. I attribute my positive personality to being a person of faith and trusting in God and God's will. People comment often on how it seems like I'm always happy. I attribute that to being a person of faith. 

In reality, I'm not always happy. This year in particular I've dealt with three huge heartbreaks. Three situations that I know I couldn't have made it out of emotionally if I didn't have faith. If I wasn't able to trust in God that things were going to be alright, and that things were all a part of His will, I'd probably still be laying on a floor crying somewhere. 

My faith and spirituality are huge parts of who I am. 

How does your faith and your life interact?
