Am I the Only One?

So I wonder, do other people struggle with doubts and questions in their faith? Or do they just ignore them and hope they go away because that is easier to do? I have tried to do that but obviously they don't go away for me.

If people don't struggle with this, why? Is it because they have heard it from a young age and have almost been brainwashed to anything different? Or is it because they are just able to accept it and don't have such a skeptical side? Or is it because they are scared what it means if they explore their faith and come up with unanswered questions? Or is it because they are surrounded by other Christians who seem to have it all together and they feel like they shouldn't have questions or doubts in their faith?

I don't know about others but I do know I need to explore myself and my faith. I am scared about what happens if I don't get the answers I need but right now I have to do something because I am not committed and fully invested to Christ because of my doubts.

First Post

Well, this being my first post, it is hard to say if I will keep up with it or even share it with anyone. This next year, 2011, I want to examine myself and test my faith (2 Cor. 13:5).

I have been struggling most all of my time as a Christian with various issues dealing with science (my head) vs. faith (my heart). That is the best way to explain it anyway. But, the past 9 months or so it has become a huge battleground. I hope to use this blog to do research, pray, and document my journey into what I believe.

I go into this adventure with the hope that through this my faith is solidified. I really want to have an unshakeable faith. I mean, what is the alternative? I do not want to believe that this world is all there is to life.
