My Family's Migration To America
I come from Faith, a devoted Roman Catholic family. Faith is embedded in my roots, my mom is Catholic and so is my dad, I have two uncle’s that are priest and one aunt that is a nun. So, as a cradle Catholic, Faith comes naturally, it’s all I know. When life is pulling me down, I rely on Faith to get better. From my parent’s journey to America, to my mother’s childbearing, and to my coming of age, Faith has been a part of my life, even before my upbringing.
My relation with Faith has been with me before I was born, starting with my parent’s migration to America. As a twelve-year-old leaving a Communist ruling Country, my mother certainly needed Faith to get by. Now, because my mother was so young at the time, she did not have the mental

    All throughout generations, humans have desired to know what to put their faith into when it appears that God is not there. To Louie Zamperini, he finds that if he does not put his trust in the Lord and does not ask to be saved, that he would surely be put to death. Through Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken, pastor Billy Graham displays how impactful God is through maintaining faith and how to live that life through Him: “What God asks of men, said Graham, is faith. His Invisibility is the truest test of that faith. To know who sees him, God makes himself unseen.” (Hillenbrand 190)…

    While reading ‘O Pioneers! ”It makes me think about the time Pilgrims immigrated to America. The novel measure the potency of the remarkable individual against universal human desires and the forces of national history. The Pilgrims were prepared to make tremendous sacrifices for future generations- and the sacrifices proved to be costly. Yet, the Pilgrims preserved and remained faithful for their God. So for the sake of their children and for the gospel, the Pilgrims made the historic decision to immigrate to America. This connects to Cather’s novel of ambitious idea and had reality of pioneer America and the individual pioneer’s capacity for happiness within the confines of traditional social relationships.…

    Today marks my fifth year since I've migrated here in the US. Whew! Time flies so fast. It has been that long since I first left home that time when I first wave goodbye to my friends and relatives, my beloved home. That time when I was having mixed emotions, happy yet sad. Happy, because I am opening the next chapter in my life. Sad because I know, I would not see my friends and relatives and be with them as much as I want to, anymore. Excited yet nervous, 7,374 miles away from home. Going to a country where I have no clue what's going to happen? Lots of questions going on my mind like, What kind people am I going to encounter? What kind of culture do they have? Am I going to fit in? Do I belong here? And even up until now, there are still…

    In my youth I enjoyed learning about different cultures, religions, and philosophies. Frequently I would see how the things I had learned as a child were reflected in the practices and beliefs of people very different from myself. I could see simple truths become evident not only in things explained by tradition, science, or logic, but also by means that could not be explained. I had begun my journey of living by faith.…

    Raised in a catholic household, learning about God and practicing my religion was done regularly. Going to a catholic school played a major role in my childhood by strengthening my beliefs in God and made me see God in different ways. My religion guided me with all the problems that I had as a child but one. As a ten year old boy I questioned God and his actions. I began questioning God and my faith when my family received heartbreaking news one afternoon following my mother’s ultrasound. It was declared that my unborn sister was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (a weak heart). My family of four whom was preparing to become a family of five was truly devastated.…

    Imagine yourself sitting in the pews of your local neighborhood church, and the woman sitting in front of you throws her hands up toward the sky, as if she is reaching out to God because she is so moved by the power of his love for her. Her belief in him surpasses her fear of the stares and thoughts of other churchgoers, as she stands up during the service to praise her God. Her hands remaining in the air for the next couple of minutes, she closes her eyes and prays. And you can feel the power of her love for God radiating off of her like rays of a summer sun. Now, imagine yourself in the intensive care unit of a hospital. You’re sitting in the room of a trauma patient, the nurse comes into the room to check…

    My personal faith and beliefs contribute to every aspect of my life. I come from a Christian family and a congregation of baptized believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. My parents have always given me unconditional love and dedication, while teaching me healthy boundaries pertaining to life. Such as always putting the Lord first, being more concerned about the pain of consequences for irresponsibility, the rights and wrongs of my behavior, and what pain any of my actions may cause for others and God.…

    Growing up in a Christian home has its mix of blessings and curses. The blessings are obviously the security and stability of a family whose foundation is firmly planted in the Word of God. The curses are the problems that come as a result of being swept along the river of the faith of the parents. This paper is written with these problems in mind. For as I deal with considering the faith of the pre-adolescent children of my congregation, and my family, I seek to address the question, “When are children ready to make the faith commitment of their life?” My own journey will weigh heavily on the direction of this thesis so let me begin by painting a picture of my experience growing up in the church.…

    Explaining how important faith is, is very hard than explaining how much you love food. Isn’t it? Because faith is something we do consciously or unconsciously. It is something we do to feed our spiritual needs. Things that may not stuff our stomachs, but things that fulfills our hearts. It is more of gratitude rather than satisfaction.…
