Hi all, I am new to this guild, and I thought I would make this my first post.
I wish my first post could be a happy one, but it's not..

I was born and raised Christain, and really have not questioned my relegion up until the past... Two years or so.
I used to live in Washington with my family, but my dad was given a job offer, and we moved to California to take it. Things went downhill from there.
He was fired from that job after a month because the boss that had him move out here had temper issues. Since then, our life has been... Near impossible. Brink of bankruptcy over and over again. I can't remember a time when we were finacially alright here... And I am tired of it. My parents are some of the most devoted Christains I've ever seen, and I do my best as well...
But we get nothing but crap. And... I'm having problems trusting relegion blindly anymore. I want to, I really do, but at the moment... I just can't.
So I was hoping someone could pray for this or maybe give me some advice? Thanks.

One more thing I thought I would add, as if what I posted before wasn't long enough =)
This new questioning of my faith has really... changed me. I'm doing things without thinking now... And just being reckless. I just don't feel like I am in any control of my life anymore!
I used to be the one everyone would come to for advice, be it just general advice, or spiritual.. But when it comes to spiritual, I don't feel I can do it anymore. I'm giving advice I don't believe in, and advice I don't follow. Seems like pretty empty advice.
And I am going on a missions trip this summer... Preaching, building, things like that in God's name... But that just seems empty to. If I don't believe what I am saying, how will I ever get others to?

I am now done with blind faith
I tried. For years.
But I am tired of my family and I, and most my friends, being overlooked by an 'almighty' being. I don't possibly see how my parents can still hold their faith after all this crap, and honestly, I don't care.
They can have their relegion, but I don't want to be a part of it anymore..
Scratch that..
I really do want to be a part of it.. But not if this is the life I am going to lead because of it.
If life is just going to suck either way, I'd rather run it myself.

Oh Connor I've been there. Heck, I'm still there. I know, it sucks. I know, it's hard. But what I can say is don't give up. I have trust issues, so I kinda got kicked in the butt when trying to reply here. Admitidly, I try to avoid blind faith, because I find it soooo hard to just...Believe. But just trust, like the faith of a child. I'm sure God has helped you before, and he will help you again. Personally, I got to where I didn't give a dang about anything anymore, so I just finally got to that whole "I guess I'll try it, because nothing I do matters anyway" sort of apathy.
Anyway, just hang in there. I'll be praying for you, Connor.
