Like a lot of military families, I attended Sunday school. It was one of the few things we kept up over the years, no matter what base we were on or how much I wanted to just bolt out the doors to do something I knew my dad would hate. As a kid I always thought God was this great and wonderful being. Then my mom got sick and even though I was too young to really understand everything, when she died I think I lost that innocent belief in God. I learned to rely on myself and less on faith. I think in the back of my head I still believed in Him in a sense, but it was more out of habit than anything.
The older I get and the more experience I put into life, I have to wonder where my belief stands. I’m no longer the girl who believes that everything simply works out from some great plan. I’ve seen and been involved in things that would make a person outright question God’s existence. Two meteor showers in the same town, brutal inhuman mass murderers, people coming back from the dead that really shouldn’t… It can make you scratch your head and wonder why He would do that. Maybe He’s not involved in any of it and He doesn’t exist at all and we’re all just grasping straws for something to believe in or to blame when things go wrong. Hell, there are all sorts of various religions in existence, many contradicting each other. Who’s to say what’s right or wrong?
But then again you could chalk up the existence of people like the Blur, Hawkman, Green Arrow, and other heroes as being God’s way of reminding us that He’s still up there doing whatever He does. Honestly, I don’t know for sure, but I like to think there’s something out there. Maybe not controlling everything, but giving us that little nudge now and again to remind us to have faith in ourselves and each other.
Huh. What do you know, I guess I still do believe in God.
