Faith

I thought that this time i would write about something a little different as well as filling you all in about what i have  been up to.
My first year at univeristy is over all ready and i can't quite believe it, I have passed all my modules and have found myself getting intrested in method acting whilst doing research about it for my last assignment of the term.
As for home life, like any normal family things can be a little bit hectic, so in these times i find myself turning to my faith and praying at every opportunity i get.
So what does my faith mean to me, or to any other person?
i get asked this question sometimes by non believers, my response is that, knowing that i have someone to believe in makes me feel at peace within myself, also knowing that there is someone watching over me. a book i have been reading each night called "The best of the word today to me describes my faith in the best way "Draw Near to God and he will draw near to you" - James 4:8
i feel a bit sorry for atheists , for when something good happens, who do they give thanks to? and when something bad happens who do they run to? my opinion is that if they wait until they can explain God, then  they will never turn to him, for me  however, faith in God gives me the courrage and assurance that there is a heaven and that one day he will return. when this day comes i will be ready!
