The other day i was talking with some one and I had told them that my parents think that after a certain age (about 16) it is time to see if you have faith yourself. This person thought that this idea was crazy, and that my parents should have forced us to go to church after 16. The thought of someone disagreeing with me/my parents first of all got me a little upset, and then I started wondering is this right of my parents to do this.
this is my conclusion:
My parents when i was little started my foundation of church, I went to sunday school all the way up to jr. high, which is when i started to really rebel against the Lord and wanted to live the worldly life, BUT my parents still forced me to go to church (even to the point of me crying not to go). Then when I was 16 my parents let me be. I think that it was the best thing for me. I CHOOSE to go or not. My relationship with God is not my parents, and I have that personal relationship with Him. So, I think my parents did the best they can do for me, and I will carry that over for my kids. My faith. I have control of it, I dont live my faith for anyone else. I like that. (:
Sorry, just little ramblings from Me.

I choose! Way to go India! I was so glad to read this!
Wow!! That's really cool! That's an interesting to think about. I guess with my parents they never really MADE me go, but all through elementary school I hated it cause it was SOOOOO boring! I had to always remind myself that the "teenager room"(that's what we called the high school room) would be more fun...I don't know. I'll ponder that.
Love you so much!
