Maybe you feel like Sheila from da United States. Cuz she wen grow up in one family dat wuz real religious she tell, “From small kid time I wanted fo kno God cuz he wen make us. But I still neva feel close to him. I had believe he wuz watching me but ony from far away. I neva tink God hate me, but I neva feel like he kea fo me eidda.
