God.
He governs every part of my life from the way I interact with people to the food I put in my body. (though I'm not always obedient to everything he tells me to do) But why do I let someone who some people believe is a myth rule my life? That answer is not quite as simple.
The first thing I can think of is this, that I have seen and felt things that could only be explained by Him. I have felt at peace with the world at a time when any 'normal' person would have been a sobbing heap. (not that I haven't had my fair share of those times) And I have seen someone scrape the bottom of the barrel and come out with enough to feed the 5,000. Granted, there are some things that could just be 'coincidences' but I know some of them could not be explained. And if I believe God is real and watching over me then I can honestly say that there is no such thing as a coincidence!
What else gives me reason to obey God? Something we, both Christian and non Christians alike, often overlook when we think about what being a Christian means. Christianity is supposed to be a relationship not a religion. God calls Christians to have a true relationship with Him. Sure there are other rules too but the truth is if we truly have a relationship with God all the rules will be easy to follow most of the time. In this life rules run rampant but the only ones God requires of us are to love God above all else and love your neighbor as yourself. All the rules are summed up in these two.
I don't just believe in some unknown deity. I believe in a living God who is not just my creator but my Father and my Friend. I am currently trying to grow my relationship with Him but I am flawed and often have trouble giving my whole life to Him. However, I want God to be my everything. Because of Him I am unafraid of my financial struggles, I can have peace during my struggles with depression, and I can have hope in a future with separated parents and a failing economy.
I believe in lots of things. But most importantly I believe in my God.

TTFN! That's tata for now!
