What I enjoy the most going to church.
October 2, 2009 - 8:18am
Yes, I'm shaman, my family has always been shaman. When I was going to college though it was different. Where I lived, everyone went to church, and the only way for you to meet people other than from your college was to attend church. I wasn't against Christians or any of God's believers so I decided to attend.
I always thought that church would be one of those boring places where you just sit there and listen to some old guy in a dress lecture you for long hours on Sunday. But little did I know I was wrong. I really enjoyed myself going there and learned a lot there. I went to a Hmong Baptist church and it was very fun.
The thing I enjoyed the most was Praise and Worship. Just the entire church singing together is a get feeling. Makes you feel like you're a whole, a team, a togetherness. Everyone centralizes their thoughts and passions into singing one song, nobody even judges your voice or say you sung something wrong or that you're off pitch. Everyone just goes on religiously singing. It's a great feeling. At very first, I didn't sing cause I didn't know their songs, but after a while I tried it and it was a good feeling.
It's not always about being of one religion. It's not about converting others to be a believer. It doesn't even matter if you're a Shaman or Christian. It's just about everyone being part of a whole, the feeling of togetherness, and not being judged for being who you are. It's like you're noticed and not noticed at once. Like you're the president of the United States and a hobo at once. Can you imagine that?
So yeah, I just wanted to share with everyone here on the religion section. Enjoy your day.

wow! i was really doubting myself in opening
this forum! i just thought that it'd be something sarcastic
like the opening title would be something that really makes you
think that that person rely does like going to crch and stuff, but then you open it and it's the complete opposite!
but it wasnt!
now for me, growing up as a Hmong Christian, it was really hard!
Hmong people are all about representing themslves and they push others down and look down on others just to make themselves seem of a higher power.. not all hmong people are like this but alot of them are!
my family would always be looked down upopn because in my REAL blood related family, we were the oly ones who were not shaman.. like we still respect the belief but we just dont go with it you know? i mean we're Christians! not Shamans! and so we were always looked down upon and it's soo sad cause everyone else lives soo close together like they're living in one state or just one state away.. and we lie soo far from everyone else too! they all live in Minn and Wis and here we are living in Colorado.. that's pretty far from everyone else and it really does break my heart because they have all come together to celebrate Holidays like Thanksgiving and New Years, but we have neverbeen celebrated with them once. it makes me soo sad cause we let our religion and beliefs seperate what really is Family..
now for me, it really is hard for me to over come through all of this. i was the first one in my family to be born Christian. im pretty sure all the way up into my family tree, i was the first one to be borned Christian.. and it's soo sad cause sometimes i feel like im soo seperated from everyon else too! not to mention im soo differnt from my family, physically and on the inside..
everyone in my family has black hair and dark brown eyes, and here i am with natural brown, orange, and red hair and natural light chestnut eyes with a little hint of green and gray on the sides..
and im the only musically talented one in my family too!..
im not bragging abuot myself here but i feel soo issolated from everyone else!
sometimes when i come onto here, there's these stupid post bulletins like "Christians are Stupid!" and saying that like we went against our beliefs and culture nd traditions and it really breaks my heart..
i dont really handle pain really well so because of it, i take steps that would refrain myself from pain, if you guys get what i mean..
But on the positive side!! i feel like my Church is my Family.. we've all gone through soo many things together as a whole! and we come together to celebrate holidays and we call eachother up just to see what's up and if they just need a simple prayer! besides all of the negativity in my life, i am soo blessed!
the praise and worship is my favorite part too! we all come together and sing a song as one! others dont care if they're soo off tune and it sounds horrible! we just keep on singing and we dont dare to stop singing!
i just really hope that even us as Hmong people would put all the "Pride" to the side and come together for once! it sickens me seeing all the Hmong people in Laos and Thailand and even in the Jungles living sucha sad and poor life! when us Hmong people here in America or wherever it is other than Laos and Thailand cant seem to come together and love one another for who we reall are and how we are! from the way i see it, the Hmong people in Laos and Thailand and the Jungles that lives sucha poor life loves eachother soo much! even if they cant even provide for themselves at times, they go through all the hardships together! and now for us Hmong people who lives in more better plave hates eachother soo much and we cant seem to just put aside and just drop our "pride"!
sory for writing soo long! haha.! i guess i got carried away? but i re-read everything and i dont think there's anything that should be deleted.. haha.! geez.. who really is going to read all this anyways? =]

Sound like it was a blast.I truly believe if the Shaman believer can incorporate some of the Christianity aspect, it can only do us more good than harm and vice versa.
I always wanted to attend church. (Forgive me in the name of my father and his father before him and so on.) I think the Christianity religion is very unique in itself and so are all religion. Someday, I hope I can achieve my goal by exploring/experience some of the world's most common religion.

if you really feel like attending church one day,
then i really want you to do it!
although you may feel weird or whatever..
as time goes on it'll be okay..
sometimes you see other people crying when they sing
Praise and Worship songs.. but there's a reason behind it..
and who knows? maybe you'd feel it one day too and would be able
to understand it..

the feeling of God is truly amazing!
it's a feeling that makes you want more and more!
you only have to experience that feelings once..
and already it will make you heads over heels..
God works in mysterious ways that no one can confide in Him,
all i can really say is that His power is really and truly indescribable.. and so is His love..

That is true April. Let me add to what you just said there; so our readers could have a clear understaning of this "wonderful feeling". We have to realized that God's word is inspired. A person encounter this "wonderful feeling" during his conversion - the moment the person believes the Gospel. The Holy Spirit will convict him of his sins and this is where he will start to cry. The fact of the matter is, people dont see the reality of their sinful nature. It's really hard to get down to this level, unless God open their eyes. Only then, they are able to accept Jesus. Then, everything will start to make sense. So now, they are able to respond to God and read the bible and seek Jesus etc... Until then, its like "uhh yeah?" It has no effect becuase of their unbelief. If they truly want to see it, they will see it. But only by the grace of God can he draws them to truth.

2Corinthians 4:18 says: So we fix our eyes, not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is only temporary, but what is Unseen is Eternal.
