Foundationally (the bottom line) is Someone made all this. Too many intricate, diverse and insanely well organized systems for it to all be anything but Intelligent design. Historically: A precious gift handed down from my parents. Personally: A conversation with that mysterious Someone Who does things I don't always understand, but the fact that He is the Someone that made all this silences my "But what about?"s My Point of Reference: 1. The Bible. It has a human factor, but the accuracy is there in its history and it's rich with wisdom and truth. 2. Creation, the work of this Intelligent Design Master - I just look around and marvel but I also get to know Him by what He made. So that all is the Why and the Who. But there is more. The What. I am not Him, my life and stuff I do can never match Him that is the reason I need the Bridge. I fail, I fail and sometimes I don't even know it until after the fact. So He made a Bridge,a way for me to succeed. He made a Way and the Way is Jesus, who deletes my failures AKA sin. I SURELY do not understand the whole "salvaion story" - I don't get why it had to be the way it was. But I DO get that I have and will continue to fail (AKA sin) so I might as well stop catering to that and accept a little help, no actually a lot of help, all the help I need. He died to save me and He helps me because I let him, by leading and guiding and giving me a PEACE and JOY I cannot adequately describe with words. I could write more, and I can definitely elaborate and go into my whole "How did I get saved" story, feel free to ask.
So that is - my Little Faith Story.
