[title] => the Battle of my faith

[hometext] => I have struggled with my christian faith since I was a little girl, but today I witnessed an alzheimer's patient I take care of chanting the Hail mary and our father prayer perfectly even with her disease she has not forgotten a word. I was amazed
[bodytext] => My faith in the lord has come and gone over the years, days would go by and tragedy would strike and little by little I lost my religion. It is now that after I lived in the darkness for so long a little bit of hope has resurfaced in me as if it was there hideing out from me all along. I catch my self preying when times are hard, everytime I pass a church or glance at a cross I start to think about god and his comfort all over again. Sometimes I wonder how could he possibly be apart of all the sadness in this world I still question the bible and my ability to believe. Than I think about my holy communion, and how exited I was to drink the blood of christ and finally be allowed to eat those tasteless wafters on sunday mass. I would be the first one ready dressed in my best clothes to go to church because than and there in my life I truly believed. I didn't wake up one day and decide I was giveing up on my faith it was a slow and steady occurence. Slowly and steadily my faith is trying to inch it's way back to me.
