Being a part of the Gulf War in 1991 and standing witness to the atrocities and inhumane from both sides, there was enough reason that I would lose faith in the Almighty. Yet I stood strong, walked over my fallen comrades and survived the whole episode. But today, as I witnessed the problems and mindless mayhem in the world outside of my home(Bird Proof Your Home For Spring), drilled in by the TV, newspapers and the common talk, my faith in God was shaken. I increasingly started feeling detached from what people call religious and traditional rituals. The Church did not beckon me, my wish to confess my sins to some Father cloaked in darkness. The whole idea of God and faith started looking bleak and pointless to me.

A friend of mine, James, who had served with me in the war, advised me to go for Christian counseling. Even though the concept of having god and his teachings being instilled into me at this age repulsed me at first, but then I decided to give it a try. In my counseling sessions as I let loose my emotions, my experiences and my reasons for what transpired as loss of faith, these counselors helped me understand what the glory of Christianity and religion is.

Today, I still go for this Christian Counseling Michigan. Not because I am still an atheist or a non-skeptic, but because I like to talk about god and his willingness to let me live through the tragic moments of life. In order to let me live the happiness I am enjoying now!
