Faith

I'm listening to Modern Talking, and feeling really nostalgic. I'm in the mood for dancing too... LOL, the last time we danced was at a cousin's wedding in April, and my husband kicked the nail of my big toe - so bad that it was bleeding, and I'm still struggling to cut it properly since it hasn't grown out completely yet. But I still miss dancing with him.
Dance lessons are quite expensive, besides we don't have enough time for it.

We went to church on Sunday for the first time in a very very long time. Its a church which I haven't been to yet, and I must admit, it seems to be quite nice. Personally I have something against churches in general - I guess bad experiences, together with "churchie" people who treated me like crap just put me off the whole deal.

You may be surprised to hear that I actually studied theology for a year! It was a long time ago, and I don’t know if I'd do it again if I had to choose. I guess we all do things when we're young, and as we grow older, we're not exactly sure why we did those things. Well, to be honest, I know very well why I studied theology. My dad is a preacher, and he wanted me to the theology / discipleship year. I know it may sound weird, and maybe even a bit hypocritical, but now I just don't know anymore. Its not as if I'm any less of a Christian, but I've lost my faith in people. In other Christians to be precise. They seem to be so consumed by which courses you have to take, which preacher you have to see, and what songs you have to sing.  I've been really annoyed with that, and disappointed I guess.

Religion is probably not a very popular topic, and I've always avoided discussing it, since I grew up in a very religious home.  Its just that the last while its been popping up a lot.  If you feel slightly or even very annoyed, sorry, but I guess its a part of me which I've been 'hiding' since I knew it would cause a lot of ructions.

In any way, I am doing a lot of thinking, a lot of searching around, because in the end I know its not good to distance myself from fellow believers.  You’re welcome to leave comments, and I’m keen to read them, but please don’t be offended – I don’t mean to step on any toes ;)
