To me, God is like a ghost. I don't mean the kind of ghost that scares little children. What I do mean, however, is that you have to look hard and believe in God if you wish to see God. So, in a way, God IS like a ghost. To many people, including myself, it may seem as though God has more important things to do and than just take care of people. And I have to admit that before my mom forced me to come to Sunday School and attend Confinnation, I was a sketchy believer. Since then, I am glad to say that I have made A LOT of progress. To my mother's pleasure I am sure, I no longer whine and complain about church because now I truly do believe that there has got to be more out there than just us. By that, I mean to say that there is a God. This God loves us with all of his heart, which was shown to us through the presence and then death of Jesus. I believe that God is all around us. God never leaves our side. You just have to look a little harder to see God clearly. On a more personal note, my faith has helped me to cope with my father's death. My faith gives me the extra boost everyday when I wonder or question myself about God. I not only choose to believe in God, but I have faith. There is simply no other choice for me. You see, if there is a God, then there is a heaven. And if there is a heaven, then that is where my Daddy is. I have to believe that I will see him again someday, and the only way that is possible is through God.
