For me, personally, it's been an interesting journey, kind of how spirituality, God and those kinds of things have been sometimes much more important in certain times in my life than other times. But I try to keep it more stable in my line of thinking, oh, faith and spirituality, because I realize it's a lot easier in the good times to be more spiritual and connected to God. But I think for me personally, I try to keep in mind that it's a big journey and things are up and down but God is always there, even if it's not obvious. Because before I didn't really realize ... I internalized it. It seemed kind of frustrating, like, why are these things happening? Not so much where is God, but I have to know why are these things happening. But of course, there's no way to know. And then eventually you say, oh, that's why it's happening. So, just being connected to God and having that relationship I think, for me, is important. And I think a lot of people certainly benefit from that relationship, and other people could who don't now. And some people might think that's weird, but I would encourage people to strengthen their relationship with God. But by me saying it has nothing to do with what's going to happen. But it helps me and other people. And certainly I've gone through periods that have been easier or harder, but it's just that stability of knowing God is there. For people who don't believe, I kind of feel bad. I kind of think about it all the time, so it's actually easy for me to talk about it. But for me it's comforting and it's a really important part of my life.
