I have found my faith

I have always believed in God. ALWAYS

Like most there were people places and things that made me wonder, where is God?

Like superman reflecting bullets off his chest, why is God not protecting me? 

In situations I have seen happen to others, was their faith not strong enough?

Did they not believe?

Is MY faith enough?

Even as an adult, this was my question.

But then I ask, what is ENOUGH? Faith, not working within your faith which for me

is a slightly different thought. Not even a thought really it's an act that should flow naturally as breathing.

But is MY faith strong enough? 

I have asked this because coming from a church where people shout, why don't I shout?

Coming from a church where people dance, where is my dance?

Being in the midst of people who can quote the bible from Genesis to Revelations, why can't I?

Being in a church once where people touch you and you passed out, honestly it frightened me and I wanted NO parts of that, not knocking those that do, but I don't understand it, I'm ignorant to it.

Knowing people who speak in tongues, wondering "am I supposed to know how to do that"?

Well I recently discovered the answer, how do I know it to be true, there was a song that came to mind as I struggled with publishing this thought, the lyrics simply said, "Something inside so strong",

But the answer was, "your faith is strong enough, you know who I am, you tell people about me, when I bless you, you tell others, you try to help others, you sing my praises, most important...you ACKNOWLEDGE me, you love me and in No part of your life do you hide me, I am ever present, always have been and you ACKNOWLEDGE me! You are not perfect, nor will you ever be, but you are a work in progress".
To me progress means to move forward in a project or activity, and as history has shown without struggles, there would be NO progress.......as Christians or any other believer in a higher power, this translates to me as, without struggles there's no testimony..now proof that my faith is relevant 

I get it!!!!
