Faith by definition is having complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Faith is, of course, also tagged with your religious preference. I don’t believe that you have to be religious to have faith, or sit in church every Sunday to be considered a Christian. I consider myself a Christian with a very strong faith. Faith in God, and faith in life as well.
Ironically, the most judged I’ve ever felt in life is by fellow Christians. The judgements are based on each individuals opinion of what a Christian is “supposed” to be. It’s not very Christian of me to drop F-bombs on the regular, believe in reincarnation, live in a haunted house, love tequila (because it cleanses my soul), and enjoy pin-up modeling (because I love tradition and my body just as Jesus does). I do Yoga and practice ancient forms of medicine, one of my best friends is an atheist. I have tattoos, listen to every genre of music, and the BIG one is….I believe in equal rights for everyone! Black, white, gay, lesbian, straight, man, woman, whatever and whoever you are. I try not to judge others based on their religion, race, age, mental or physical abilities, or political views. After all judgements are our own personal fears we don’t want to face or understand. Judgements are ignorance, plain and simple.
What I do believe is that only God shall judge me! I believe and have faith in health & wellness, feeding your soul, loving your family, helping your friends, investing in your children, loving equally, having courage not control, being powerless makes you more powerful, embracing the good an bad as blessings, to always be humble and always believe in yourself. Having faith is about believing with an open mind and an open heart. Believe in God, Buddha, Zeus, Mother Earth, Billy Blanks, Elivis, Man……something…..anything. If you don’t hold faith in something than what is your purpose? Christian is my religious preference, but faith goes so much deeper than church. Faith is within us, in our actions, in our hearts, it’s how we love, fear, pray, heal, hope…..Find your faith! Focus on it! Continue to grow Healthy Inside Out!
