Spiritual Autobiography

Spiritual Autobiography
The religion I believe in is Christianity I grew up in believing this religion.   My parents are both Christians pretty much whole family believes in God. My grandfather is a pastor at a Baptist church and two of my Uncles are pastors as well. My father and mother when I was younger were both members of the deacon and deaconess board. My mother is still active in church but my father not so much. My whole life growing up was church Monday- Sunday sometimes. Now that I’m 26 I really don’t go to church like I should but I definitely still have a relationship with God. I was brought to believe that God will do anything for you as long as you give your life to him (I know this as being saved). I believe that I’m saved even if I haven’t been as dedicated as I should be.
My parents always prayed a lot and taught me to do the same. I still pray and go to church when I can. Religion plays a big part in my life because it’s what I’ve been taught to turn to during good and bad times. I’m definitely not a “bible thumper” but I do believe certain parts of the bible which does play a role in my life day to day. I have questioned my religion before because I am a lesbian and people that call themselves Christian can be so judgmentally. I was taught and believe that the God I serve is not judgmentally and that he loves us all flaws and all. So in that aspect I question my religion because I don’t understand that. I would raise my children the same way I came up. I don’t know if I would be in church with them as much as my parents had me in church, but they will understand who God is and what it means to serve him.   I do wish I had a closer relationship with God like I use to. I’m actually trying to get back to that point someday sooner than later hopefully. But I think that time will come just keep praying and believing is all I can do. When I think about the religious paths I think that if you get where you want to be in your religion than everything...
