A challenge on belief

There are various proofs that support the existence of God while atheism has developed their own version. This situation made me question my faith about the existence of the supernatural being. Theoretically, the Bible as holly book supports the existence of God. The presence of God is depicted from the book of Genesis to Revelation. On the other hand, atheism developed tangible evidence to support their argument that God does not exist (Bloch, 2009). At this point I was left confused thinking of what decision to make. Considering the writings in the Bible about believing first and being saved, the words kept on ringing meanwhile as I absorbed the thoughts of atheism. Therefore, I was at a point of indifference when trying to make a decision.

However, it is a choice to believe or not to believe. Besides receiving all supporting evidence, there is still a decision made on the action to take. Faith can be tested in various forms and this is the time a conclusion is made regarding Saturn. People claim that the devil is taking over your thoughts that may not be the case.

Although I was challenged and felt like I needed to make a perfect decision, I was in a position to stick to my first choice. The choice instilled in me from the time I was a child. My parents played a significant role in ensuring that I was in a position to make decisions by myself. They trained me, showed me the right path to take, and ensured that God was put first before anything. With the support from the scripture, “train the child on the way to follow and he shall never part,” my parents had learnt that this was the only way to bring up a child.

Extracurricular activities

Engaging in extracurricular activities is the best way to grow and utilize leisure time (Youniss, & Yates, 1997). Community service, sports, and singing constitute the other me. Extracurricular activities link my lifestyle with that of the community and friends.

Community service

Growing in the hood provided an opportunity to interact with challenges that people encounter. Orphanages established absorb children whom do not have parents but require a place to call home. I love visiting orphanages and spending time with the children. May focus is to make them feel they are loved and not abandoned. Sharing a meal with the needy makes me feel that I have gone a milestone in life. This is the only way one can feel to have given back to the community. Therefore, it is a true reflection of the step taken from thinking about oneself to thinking about other people. Furthermore, I love social work. We execute this kind of job in groups. They include cleaning around the community, cooking and other volunteering services.

Sports

My interest in sport is extremely unmeasurable. I developed the urge in a tender age, playing football by myself or alongside my friends and family members. In addition, I love swimming that tends to be ultimate among the list of curricular activities. Major concern is the time that is a factor. I spend most of my time with my friends as we share our ways of life. Other sports include mountaineering and riding bicycles. In addition, I love driving but not for racing purposes.

Singing

Singing is a hobby. I compose songs and sing perfectly with base and tenor. At the same time, I play piano and guitar. To the best of my knowledge, I love what I do and would maximize on every opportunity I get. However, I love teamwork as it plays a major role in my social life.
