19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was adopted by a Loving, GOD fearing christian family, I know what it is to be accepted and loved by a group of people that may not have to LOVE you but they JUST DO. To me that is what value system I was Lucky enough to be a part of by my parents choosing me. My spiritual growth copies that belief that being a christian is about Loving and helping your fellow man and doing everything you can to make this world a better place while you are in it. faith is what gives you the strength to deal with the daily grind of living and Helping your community. The Reward of Heaven is a plus but the strength of faith and family is what this part of our journey is about to me. I grew up Methodist and went to Methodist college and am thankful that I KNEW no matter what choices I make in Life,that because of Faith and Family I would know what the choice SHOULD be. Not every child born into our world has that chance. I am Blessed and know that I am.
