This morning Megha gave me a survey about religion, and asked me to do it for her, cuz she knows how I roll. Needless to say, I went ham on it.

Name: Crystal Gomes
Age and Grade: 17 and senior
Religion: Christian - Penecostal
Ethnicity: African-American
Views on God: He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. He is above all things, through all things, and in Him all things consist. He is the Lord our healy, our provider, our victory, and our peace. He is good, all the time. Gosh, I love God!
Family influence on views of God: My mommy is a Christian, but she never made me go to church. Once upon a time, when I elementary school, I said I didnt want to go, and never really started again until sophomore year on my own accord. Now she is very gald for my faith, and supportive.
View on religion in general: Religion is a practice. God doesnt want your realtionship with him to be a forced habit. There is no "right" way to pray to God, worship Him, or spend time with Him.
Do you attend a place of worship regularly? With our without family? Yes. Grace Point Church of God. My mommy attends a difference church-- Calvary. I dont like the atmostphere there, so I choose not to go with her.
How do you think religion influences your daily life? (I crossed out religion, and put faith, lol) My faith in Jesus influences my life in such a positive way. I'm not trapped in sin from my past, because they've all be forgiven. I dont have to worry about things I can't control, because I know He is already taking car of it. He inspires me to be a better person (like Him).
What do you think influences your views on religion most? I believe what I believe because I know how I felt the night I gave my life to Christ. Up until then, I'd been so broken down, but the instant I cried out to God at that altar, I felt the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. There came a point where I couldnt cry anymore, and suddenly I felt like I had a purpose. My spirit was so light and free... I've never been the same. Praise God.

Ayeee, its Friday, and I'm off school next week! I needa start making plans, cuz I am NOT about to be in my house all week. I definitely need to make sure I see Karen and Jennifer. I'd like to chill with Taylor, too, but she's mean to me and never wants to play with me anymore. ): Actually, maybe I should stay in the house and do college stuff... but that gives me heartburn, so its not important.

Call Fox 4, Kylie is coming back to F51. I've missed her sooo much. Call CNN, I'm staying in praise band. Lord be with me xO

Last night my heart attacked me with a whole bunch of crap I thought I'd gotten past. I don't wanna talk about it, but I guess I need to. Arghhh :/ It gives me heartburn, but I cant exactly say its not important.
