"What do you believe?"

I'm in the process of trying to be accepted as an inquirer in the Presbyterian Church. To go through this process I've got some paperwork that I need to fill out, and there are nine questions that I've been giving a lot of thought to lately. One in particular is getting most of my attention.
"Write a brief statement of your personal faith describing what you believe about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and your relationship to them."
For one, how do you make that brief? I have always known what I believe, but I think I could write books on my relationship with Christ. It's probably a sad state of affairs when somebody who wants to be a pastor is struggling with that simple question, but that really is the one question that says it all. I've been looking a lot today at the Apostles Creed. It's amazing how elequently those few lines say soo much, and really it's a great building block to expand on for my beliefs and my own statement. I don't know, I will probably almost need to cite that document with my own writings, but really then I would need to cite the Bible as well. Sorry random thoughts.
Well anyway that is where the God moment comes in today. I went and saw a friend tonight, and as I was warming up my car to come home, his younger sister got into a discussion with him and me. She considers herself agnostic when it comes to religion, but she asked me what I believed about Christ. She said she was told in church that she was going to hell, and was very turned off by the exclusion she felt she experienced. "Write a brief statement of your personal faith describing what you believe about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and your relationship to them." I think I could have been much more elequent in what I was saying, but the same thoughts that I've been wrestling with were coming out of my mouth, and I think that maybe I was connecting with her a little bit. Then her cell phone rang, it was her boyfriend in Cali on the other line, so we ended abruptly. Hey it's a start, and I know we will talk more. It's amazing how God works sometimes.
