Hello, My name is Diana, I'm a stay at home mommy with five children between my husband and I. I'm also happily married to a wonderful man, "Bill". We have one dog "Shakira and 2 Kitty's "Miley and Gracie". We also have two gold fish, a betta, a rat and a hamster. We have a hole zoo going on! LOL!!
My mother raised me Baptist. I feel I have always had a close relationship with God and Jesus. My mother has told me that when I was younger, about 5, I would be punished for something naughty and I would go crying to the bathroom and talk to Jesus. She said I was telling on her. LOL!! She said this is something I would say, "Jesus... sob, sob, mommy is mad at me again, sob, sob." Mom said after a few min I would come out just as happy as can be and I believe she said I would even apologize for my bad behavior. She said there were times she would sneak to take a peek in the bathroom to see what she may find, but Jesus wasn't there.
When mom and I stopped going to Church I then started my search to find God/Jesus. When I was about 13 I started with going to a youth group. I loved it at first, my friends were there and the feeling of God/Jesus was there, but the youth group started to share some new experiences in front of me that I just didn't understand, I was only 13 and had so many questions of why? Why they did that? or why this? I was very curious. My mother would help me find certain areas in the Bible to confront my youth pastor with, to get some answers but he didn't really want to talk to me about it. Did he not have the
answers? Or did he just not want to get deep in the Bible with a 13 year old? I dont know, but it raised my curiosity greater then before and I was full throttle to find the answers I was seeking for. I did stop going to that youth group because of feeling uncomfortable and just didn't feel I belonged.
Growing up I found different religions fascinating and wanted to learn what others thought about religion and what there beliefs were. I also attended different Churches, Temples, Synagogues etc. to have the full experience. My search wasn't only of the present but I also dug through history to find answers to my so many questions. I was seeking for truth and the real religion to find God/Jesus. I did and do know the truth is in the Bible but I had a very hard time understanding what the Bible was saying, but boy did I try and I cryed because I new in my hands, was the truth and so many answers, but I just didn't understand. So, I, open minded and open hearted learned through others to
mold myself by evaluating all that I heard from others experiences with God/Jesus. I learned to dig deep and not to believe everything I heard but to keep in thought that it maybe possible so I kept certain things in my memory bank till later or let it go if it never fit.
As I grew, understanding the Bible was getting easier and easier. I would get so excited because the words and the story's were starting to make sense and I was starting to be able to put some of the things I learned from others together with the Bible. I'm still learning to this day and I feel the path I went down to seek the truth was a wonderful experience and I'm still going down that same path searching, finding truth, and searching for God/Jesus.
My conclusion for different religions, I feel, are all the right ones, they are the right ones for the people that grew up in there religion, they are the right ones because for them that's how they know God/Jesus. All religions are the right ones because were all different, we learn different, we all have a relationship with God/Jesus in our own way and nobody should try and change someones religion because all you would be doing is confusing them with there relationship with God/Jesus in the way they no best. So I feel ALL religions are the right one for each of us individually. I hope that makes sense.
