Believe ~ Black and White

Believe. That is a powerful word. My beliefs were really put to the test when I lost my son many years ago. I still, to this day, am not sure what I believe in. The only thing I can say is some way, somehow I will be reunited with Dustin in the next lifetime. If I didn’t think that was true, I would not be here. Simple as that.

  1. I have questioned my beliefs but have become stronger as I read more and understood more. However it is my experience of faith that has made me even stronger than before.

  2. A lot depends on who you put your faith in….
    A Christian walk does not guarantee everything going right all the time.
    People sometimes assume that everything goes right when you do everything right but I will tell you honestly not necessarily so.

    Yes, I believe Dustin is with you in spirit.
    Life can be hard sometimes.

    • I was a Christian my entire life until I lost Dustin. Now everything has been doubted and questioned. And yes my “faith” has let me down many times.

      ….”People sometimes assume that everything goes right when you do everything right but I will tell you honestly not necessarily so.”

      I know very well things do not work out. Yes life is hard. That is a mild word.
      You lose your child. Life is worse than hard. Your world is shattered. You are told things happen for a reason… not losing your child. I never want to hear things happen for a reason. Please. No reason or justification for losing your child. An innocent child.

      I try really hard not to get into this discussion. It goes nowhere. Some questions will never be answered.

  3. Sometimes bad moments come to our lives. At the time, it is very important that we have something in what we believe because it is easier to survive these moments.

  4. Throughout my life, I have realized that some of the things I believed before turned out to change, and some basic things, once again also experienced major changes in recent days.

    For one thing, we must continue to have something to hold on to survive.
