        I grew up believing in Jesus since I was a Kid of faithful Seventh-day Adventist parents who taught me a lot about God. The stories they've shared to me and the books they gave me to read made me believe that there was Jesus. 
In my opinion,  believing in His existence because you saw pictures of Jesus in stories is a lot different than "experiencing" Jesus yourself or should I say having a real encounter with Him. 

        I could recall all my near-death experiences and I believe it was God who has always been saving me because I know He still has a purpose for me. 

       I could also remember the miracle God  has shown to me, that was in high school when a huge amount in a wallet was lost and all I know was that many people were passing by, I  cried at the middle to the Lord, I asked for a miracle.  But after half  a minute after praying, I saw my wallet which lies on a little grass beside the dusty road. I believe it was God, He exists and He listens. ]]> 2021-11-11 09:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/valereyobena/6v2m2u16nw31nu36/wish/1883698049 valereyobena https://padlet.com/valereyobena/6v2m2u16nw31nu36/wish/1883894374           In my own opinion, God does exist. there are numerous religions in the world of which the major ones are Christianity. These religions  often present different opinion on the purpose of life, but for me god really exist because we are not here in this world if we have no god and we don’t need proof or evident  just to believe that god really exist, we should trust in the Lord.
           I believe In Hebrews 11:3 ‘By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible`.  so it matters in your own belief.

Because of a man who I gave trust and love but he ignored everything I gave. There I realized that not all people treat you well. There I knew the Lord well, I approached him asking for help and thanked him very much because he changed me a lot. If not for him, my life seems trivial.
          All people have many true stories of how they already knew the lord and this is the most like if story in my life now.]]> 2021-11-11 12:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/valereyobena/6v2m2u16nw31nu36/wish/1883985172 valereyobena https://padlet.com/valereyobena/6v2m2u16nw31nu36/wish/1885272000            Life is not full of treasures, despite what we would want to believe. Pain, catastrophes, heartbreak, loss, loneliness, and helplessness are all part of the trip. I occasionally feel myself sliding into a pit of darkness so deep that I believe I will never be able to climb out. I try to paddle my way up, trying to get some air into my depleted lungs, but the constant fight exhausts me, and my limbs soon give out, leaving me trapped. Without a way out, you're stuck and alone. I do not intend to diagnose myself, but I think that is how depression feels in a nutshell. 

         On a daily basis, I battle these depressed demons, but I've discovered hope in overcoming them. Islam has provided me with the necessary tools to combat and heal from depression, the most important of which is the wonderful Holy Quran.

           Reading the Quran taught me that life is designed to bring us suffering, loss, and sorrow, and that it is only our trust in Allah (SWT) that would help us to persevere through these tests and keep our eyes on the prize of an eternal existence in Paradise.]]> 2021-11-11 23:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/valereyobena/6v2m2u16nw31nu36/wish/1885272000 valereyobena https://padlet.com/valereyobena/6v2m2u16nw31nu36/wish/1885286160 2021-11-11 23:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/valereyobena/6v2m2u16nw31nu36/wish/1885286160
