My Beliefs.

     The other day I had to fill out an online survey for college. They are sent to either all the students or students picked at random-I'm not exactly sure. Anyways, the one I got was on my beliefs. They gave you a topic and then below it said "I believe..." and had five blank lines. You were only required to fill out three of the five lines but if you wanted you could fill out all.

     Beliefs are very important, without them you wouldn't be an individual. Beliefs are one of the things that set you apart from others and show others what you are unashamed to stand for. For this reason I have decided to share with you all my set of beliefs that I had put on the survey. There are more than these couple, but I was only allowed five lines so I tried to pick the most important, but at the same time I put the first ones that popped into my head.

My beliefs on spiritual life and a relationship with God:

1. Once saved, always saved that's what I believe.

2. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin.

3. Without God nothing is possible; at the same time with God anything is possible.

4. God is, was, and always will be.

5. God sent His son Jesus to Earth to live among us, to suffer cruel torture by us, to die on the cross for us, and rise from the grave three days later so we can (if we want) go to heaven when we die to live eternally in His presence.

My beliefs on relationships with others:

1. We should treat others as we ourselves would want to be treated.

2. You can tell much about a person by how they treat life and how they treat the ones they love most.

3. The people that are hardest to love are sometimes the ones that need our love most.

4. Family should be among one's top three priorities in life.

5. Family should be the baking flour in the cookies of life and friends the chocolate chips.

My beliefs on profession/vocation/ministry:

1. One should not write anything lightly without first making sure they would be unashamed to say it in person.

2. One should do their best at everything they do since it reveals their true character.

3. One's personal life should not interfere with their professional life.

4. If at any time one feels her priorities have gone wrong she should step back and re-evaluate.

5. To have true success in life (vocation, home, etc.) my God and my faith have to be key ingredients.

     I share my beliefs not so that you feel I am pushing them on you, but rather so you can ask yourself, "What are my beliefs?" "What do I stand for?" This is an easy exercise that really puts in perspective what you believe. Thanks for reading!
