This is Quenna Alvarado from group1 and I am a Roman Catholic. The word "Catholic" is Greek and it means "universal." It is a way of expressing how many different people, churches and traditions come together into one Church and believe the same thing. Talking about the belief/s of a Catholic are found in the Nicene Creed and here's what it says: 

*I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all the things visible and invisible
*I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
*I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life
*I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.

There are many ways of being Catholic, but all Catholics are in union with the Pope and believe the same things. 

I want to share an event that make me believed that God truly exists. Last 2019, my parents went to Cebu due to my mother's general check up every once a year. Sadly on her last check up, her doctor find out something on her breast abs after it was detect that my mom has a breast cancer, I literally dont know what to respond or act since in my mother's side, we are prone to cancer because of our genes. My mother needs to undergo a radiation in CDO since its still in stage 1. I became anxious, I extremely overthink and I lost my focus especially in my academics. All I can do is to offer everything to God and ask God's mercy to heal my mom and give her longer life. It gives me so much pain since she couldn't accept having that kind of condition. But because our God is a merciful and powerful God, she is now a cancer free. You see, there's a lot of things to be grateful for. All we have to do is to trust in all His plans for us and I know that He will never put us in a situation that we cannot handle.]]> 2021-11-10 01:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/abacialdenise/Bookmarks/wish/1879926952 vanhellsing0819 https://padlet.com/abacialdenise/Bookmarks/wish/1881299471 A pleasant day to everyone, I am Nel Ivan G. Alta, I am a Roman Catholic and I'm about to tell you a story about how God proved that He really does exist and how my faith to Him has gotten a lot stronger. On December 25, 2013 my father was admitted in the hospital because of kidney stones. The doctor told us that the situation is getting worse and things might turn into the worst case scenario which is my father will not be able to survive. It was Christmas eve and I was all alone in the house, crying and overthinking that my dad will not be able to celebrate new year with us. My fathers stomach has gotten larger because of the urine, the urine cannot be released due to the stones that is preventing them to do so. I  prayed while crying, praying that my dad would survive, praying that we would still be able to celebrate new years eve together as a family. I prayed really hard to the point that I fell into a deep sleep and dreamt about my family enjoying the new years eve with my father. I woke up with a really good news, my father survived and the operation was successful. So then we were able to celebrate the new years eve together as a family and God has really proven that He is guiding me and my family, I thanked God for that miracle and vows to surrender my life to Him.

Amba, I am a Protestant and I would like to share how amazing our God it is. When it comes to him  nothing is impossible, especially how he changed my life into better for who I am today.                                        
 At an early age, I knew that God would do something big in my life like how he manage my life with his holy presence. God point me the right path to see how great he is that life is essentially pointless if God does not exist. My life change when i feel the presence of god that whatever i do he always protect and support me all the time. Serving others is one of the best ways to find God you will sense his love and presence as you assist others, as well as how delighted he is of your desire to help others. My God exist and I witness how glorious and how powerful he is, He cleans up my dark past with his love. Faith, my faith to him never change how he comfort me in my darkest moment in my life he always fill up the emptiness and rebuild as a strong person. My faith to him gives us the courage to celebrate our life even when it seems you have nothing to celebrate at all. I ask God to lead my way through to his better plan for he is the God of our salvation and the one who wants the best for our life.]]> 2021-11-11 08:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/abacialdenise/Bookmarks/wish/1883644091 https://padlet.com/abacialdenise/Bookmarks/wish/1884046864 Hello everyone, I am Mohammad Saad M. Amer and I am a Muslim who practices Islam. I will be telling you a little story about my journey on when and how did I believe that Allah (peace be upon Him) existed and my realization regarding my religion being an important factor in my whole life.

As a kid I was exposed to the beliefs, cultures, and traditions of our religion in a very early age. I have started following one of the five pillars in Islam which is prayer (salat), it is expected that when a person hits puberty they are expected to follow this pillar, but in my case I have started very early. At that time I was not aware of what it meant to pray, I just followed it because I thought it was just a mandatory thing without any reason behind it at all. Little did I know that praying was very important and it can be very rewarding, especially in the afterlife. As my parents taught and educate me more about our religion I started to practice and follow the other pillars, and it made me deepen my knowledge about my religion and my relationship to Allah (peace be upon Him). My religion has been an important factor in my life, it always reminded me of what type of person I am, the morals that I have learned, the good deeds that I must pursue, and the obligations and responsibilities as a Muslim that I must carry out. Every time I pray I always ask for forgiveness to the bad things that I have done even if I am not aware in any of it, I also always ask for protection for me, my family, friends, and all other people. I always seek for a guide to let Allah (peace be upon Him) lead me to a brighter path and future and that may Allah (peace be upon Him) always show me the things that I must do for the sake of the good in me and around me. I am thankful that I was born as a Muslim and that Allah (peace be upon Him) has given me a family that guided me in the right path. In this current day I know Allah (peace be upon Him) is there to always guide not just only me but the others as well, may it be a pure Muslim, "Balik Islam", or even anyone who is not practicing Islam, Allah (peace be upon Him) will always be there and will not stop in anything to guide and protect us from any evil, we are all His children regardless of religions, race, and beliefs.]]> 2021-11-11 12:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/abacialdenise/Bookmarks/wish/1884046864 abacialdenise https://padlet.com/abacialdenise/Bookmarks/wish/1884381019 Hello, my name is Denise Ronelle R. Abacial and I am an Assembly of God. I will be writing the factors and events that made me believe in God.

I grew up in a Christian household, to be exact my mom. I was already expected to follow what my parents believed in, who else would I look up to other than them? They were my role model in life, what they do is what I will do also but I guess that's just normal for a kid who still don't know much about life. I was greatly exposed inside the church ever since I was a child. I also had a ministry back then. I just followed and believed what was taught by our pastor. I only acknowledge the existence of God at that time, that he is there, and that he created us. But as I grew older, I came upon problems where I was begging God to help me and every time I would ask for help it seems that it would be solved just like that.
I already encountered a lot of near death experiences because of my asthma. Every time it happened I encountered something out of this world. I don't know if it is just a simulation that my brain created since I was about to lose my life at that time, but it was really an eye opening for me, to encounter something like that, that I get to experience God's presence. He helped me a lot, especially in dire times I needed him the most. He never left my side even how sinful I am.
