Personal Narrative: The Center For Spiritual Living

Improved Essays
When I was 14, I attended a church camp in the summer. This was not my usual church. It was named The Center for Spiritual Living, which meant that they accepted almost anything that was positive for the terms of religious belief. However, it was with a heavy lean towards Christianity, with a dash of various religious practice. Anyways, I was part of the teen group there for obvious reasons. Though most teens there were at least somewhat spiritual, I think what was mostly on their minds was finding their next girlfriend or boyfriend….. But going back on track, the church camp was a 5days affair that had a dance, talent show, a sports tournament, hikes and much more. Another big thing that was happening was the election for the teen

    Every Life Matters I really only started understanding the meaning of abortion once one of my mom’s friends had one. Before that I had very little knowledge about abortion. My parents have always taught me to stand by what I believe and that others may have different beliefs. They always told me that I would meet people that would disagree with me and what I believe not only when it came to these kind of topics but many other things as well. Being told that, they told me to always respect people’s beliefs and their points of view because everyone has the right to stand by what they believe, just like I do.…

    Life is simply perspective. Some say that you have your whole life to do something, while others will argue that life is short and you should enjoy it to the full extent of it’s worth. You can look at something as exquisite, or atrocious. It doesn’t change what it is, but it changes your reaction to it. No matter how sure you are about the morality, someone else could view it differently.…

    Essay on Negro Spiritual When I was 16, I had been out on the street and had to survive on my own. I had an awakening into the world of religion and wanted to broaden my knowledge as it was. I had been looking for a church that fit my needs. Music was the most important thing and all the rest came after it. Not necessarily perfect in the Christian sense, I’m sure.…

    I never could have guessed five years ago, when I walked onto the MWBC grounds that my world would change forever. I didn’t know it then, but that cozy little patch of land in the middle of nowhere would become the biggest influence in my life. I had no inkling that the people I would meet would become like a second family to me. If I had it wouldn’t have taken me so long to get there. Growing up I was very wary of summer camp.…

    I never thought that anyone would miss me. Everybody only saw me on Sundays and nobody except maybe Olivia seriously considered me their best friend. I cut off all communication to my colleagues back at my old church. I waited for a call, an email, or anything that showed that they were thinking about me. I never thought that I would be the one hurting, that I would wake up each morning without the motivation to try to pursue anything but eating, school, and sleeping.…

    For the first 14 years of my life, I was a happy child who enjoyed sports and had few worries. Then one day in the summer, before freshman year, all that changed thanks to a camp in Jacksonville, a football camp recommended by my coaches. It was called FCA, Fellow Christian Athletes. Let me tell you first off, I was not at all the same person after this camp. For one thing, I was totally ignorant to any understanding of the bible and to what was really important.…

    When asked the question, “What do you believe,” I sit here and try to think about what I actually believe in. In my head I’m like, Well I believe in things like Jesus and God, always do your best, and treating people with respect, but those are all things most people believe in. I grew up being taught that this is what my family believes in, but this doesn’t really show what I believe in, it shows what I grew up learning. So what do I believe in?…

    Growing Up In Church Were you forced to go to church when you were younger? Most people I know were, and they usually hated it. Whether it was because your mom made you dress up, you had to get up early, or you just thought it was a load of crap we all had our reasons. I was exposed to many different denominations growing up. With my mom and grandparents being southern Baptist, going to a Catholic school and my dad being Assembly of God I had lots of options to choose from.…

    One thing I was positive of, I did not want to go to church camp. Right from the moment we pulled into the parking lot half an hour early, I wanted to go back home. As a soon-to-be junior in high school, this did not seem like a good idea. Everyone has those times when a person in his or her life wants him or her to do something and that person pushes so hard, almost guiltily. Well, the youth minister of St. Joseph parish with which I am a member sure wanted me to go to the week-long Christina Leadership Institute.…
