First Memory of Church
At the ripe age of five years old I briefly lived with my Grandma Beverly, during this time I was expected to go to church with her. I had never gone to church before, I recall dreading having to go. It took so much effort to get ready early in the morning, followed by sunday school, and a long, drawn out, monotone sermon. My Grandma Beverly is mormon, therefor I went to a mormon church. Although I am now nondenominational, going to church with my grandma helped spark my interest in religion and my curiosity about God. The day started with me being prodded at and pampered, I had to force myself into nylons and a sunday appropriate dress, then had to curl my bangs in and stuff my feet into little high heels. After the

    Growing up, my family and I weren’t very religious by any means. My parents grew up in Catholic families, but when they moved away from their families, they moved away from God too. Every time we were stationed in a new place, my parents always blamed not going to church on the military and how we would always be moving. My sister and I didn’t mind this, because we didn’t really know what church was, and didn’t understand the meaning of it, but when we moved to Louisiana in 2012, I met a friend that would change this. I met this girl Samantha, who seemed to be in a few of my classes.…

    It was a whole new church that my family was just attending while we were passing through the area, in all honesty I probably only attended five churches in my life prior, due to the fact that my family travelled so vigorously. This being said I wasn’t very holy I just kinda went because due to my age I ended up playing games most the time, never really having to be preached too. This church was contrastive than the prior experiences I was exposed to because I had to go to the main service area with my mother and father. To be blunt this was my first formal introduction to “my lord.” It began with singing, which I even had to endure at the children's ministry, but then came the hour and a half of my first meeting with who this man people always talked about really was.…

I have been fostered in the basics of my faith and poured into by the people who go there.…

    There’s many reasons why people join a religion. Some are seeking for forgiveness, others want to find themselves, others because they think it’s the right thing to do, and there’s people like me, who follow a religion because of family. When reading My Islam by Amir Nasr, I felt a connection with him and I do believe that the process of a love affair can be a cycle for Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

    I would hear the members of the church thanking a man that I have never seen before. I would listen to my pops preach about a spirit that I had never felt before. A person can know about Him but not actually know him until they have a personal relationship with Him. As a few years passed, I eventually got to know God for myself. I eventually got baptized and made a promise to always love Him and obey the words of the Bible.…

    I started to lose myself spiritually and the only time I really thought about going to church was when I was going through something . I 'm not saying that anyone that doesn’t go to church is any less holy than someone who goes every Sunday but the only time I turn to God was when I was in need . As high school teenager it really didn’t seem to have an affect on me. It wasn’t until I hit probably 20-21 that I knew something was not right .…
