I am materialistic and hold grudges if you wrong me or anyone close to me. I am not religious but I like to say that I am spiritual if that makes any sense. I believe there is something higher out there but I don't know what it is. While I am figuring it out I try to adhere to my one belief always: <I>I want to be the person that my bunny thinks I am.</I> In your case you could probably switch out bunnies for "boys". ;)<BR/>/ClaraCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182762749488326755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493148151211496548.post-83208571863925231252009-04-02T19:59:00.000-04:002009-04-02T19:59:00.000-04:00First of all, I'll be praying for you, for Janine ...First of all, I'll be praying for you, for Janine and for her mom. Your questions:<BR/><BR/>a) I pray every day, as much as I can, but I feel I can always do more.. always more to say.<BR/>b) I pray in lots of different ways. I pray alone, silently or out loud, I pray with my husband, with my congregation, at any time and in any place.<BR/>c) I pray to the my creator and heavenly Father, and to Jesus Christ, my mediator. <BR/>d/e) I believe that God answers our prayers, but not always in the way we expect. The Bible says that God works all things for good for those who believe in Him, and I believe that 100%. When my prayers aren't answered the way I expect, then it becomes clearer that only God knows what's best for me. I believe that suffering and tragedy help believers grow in their knowledge and love of the Lord, and that we become more grateful for a loving, fatherly creator after such experiences. He's the God that sacrificed his perfect Son on a cross to save wicked men- He loves us that much, so I know he's working everything for good. I know this is a long rant, but I wanted to share what I know as truth. You're in my prayers!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781093061015596026noreply@blogger.com
