I have read countless blogs and a few books by Christians who have had their faith shaken completely to it's core.
They all write about how it's what ends up defining their faith and it makes their relationship with God even stronger.
I personally have never been shaken in my faith.
Maybe it's because I didn't quite grow up in a Christian home and wasn't really introduced to Christianity until about 4th grade (not really that late except in perspective of the length of my life so far). Could this have some effect since I didn't have a chance to get caught up in a motion, I came willingly.
It's not like my faith is necessarily "safe" I don't stick with easy faith issues or avoid things that might disturb my faith, if anything I sometimes draw towards those.
However, I'm still firm in my faith, I find it more each day and have never felt closer to God.
Is it possible that some people just don't need to be shaken? Some people just have the faith they need from all they've been through but have never quite fallen?
Maybe there's more to come, maybe something will rock me horribly, I'm only 18.

Carl, your blog is way prettier than mine.
Don't worry if your faith hasn't been "shaken." The very act of accepting Christ and living for Him is a shaking experience, really.
Just remember, we are young. By God's grace there is much more life to be lived!
