That's a lot of religious training. I'm curious - how did you know at six that you could follow this path? I'm always interested in people who build strong convictions at a young age (probably because me myself I have none)....

Well it is alot, but it takes alot to learn and grow in God. I was raised a fundamental baptist, (very literal and alot of fear of God, not as much of a relationship) but I had good teachers and mentors and then my mom converted from Catholism to Christianity. There was always an acknowledgement of God in our home when I was growing up and it just made sense. As I got older, I read, studied and questioned alot and grew in my understanding of God and my role as a believer. I do not do anything spiritually academic, I am a christian wife and mother, i am going to school to get my Associates in Human Service-Mental Health and plan to work and go back for my Bachelors in Social Work. I want to counsel parents of special needs children and Women with emotional and psychological problems. I am an avid reader and studier of the Bible. The cool part of believing in God is that it is Him doing all the work, all I have to do is heed His leading, and obey the things he reveals to me in scripture or through my prayer time. He has designed me to do things in concert with other believers that make me grow, strengthen and encourage me in my understanding of Him and his messages in scripture. I hope that answered what you were asking. Feel free to write back. Are you sure you don't have any convictions? Did you ever and just feel they do not serve you well now? Best Wishes,
