Its hard jud, 'te. There was even a time that i even rejected God. I rejected faith in a concept of 'salvation'..it was in high school and it was during my last year in high school da. I thought that I could do everything by myself. Life was to me was merely by chance---no sense of divine path or presence. When I went to church, i would only go because my parents demanded I go---so i went, for the sake of the family.
However, 'te, when I started college i thought it would be great to believe in what I wanted because i would be away from my parent's teachings and my mom's religious nature. However, i couldnt help but feeling a sense of absolute loneliness during my first year in college. I talked to my parents, still i would be lonely. I had alot of friends, but i still was lonely, something deep inside wasn't nurtured. And I can still feel it as if it was yesterday. So what did i do? I dont know ...why..but i went to our college chapel one day. It was after inorganic chemstry lab, i just felt like something was guiding me forward to the college chapel. It was dark, i remember going inside and getting spooked out and scared because of it. I sat down, and began to pray---as if the words that were repeated in catholic mass in the past...it just came out naturally for me. I cried after prayer, i felt better, a sense of consolation. That following year..i enrolled myself for RCIA to get my confirmation in the catholic church...and ive been blessed ever since going to church again.
I dont know why i went to church, or what guided me there, but I do believe it was the Lord who did. As if he knew that there would be a time where he could reach me....and it was in college, of all places.
I cant explain my faith through science and proof or logic, but somehow something deep inside me tells me that is is just right.
Do you guys feel like that too?
