Agnostic means believing there is no way of knowing, and, doubting the existense of god. Athiests believe there is no god.
I believe very strongly in a higher power, a sort of macrocosmic entity, or a god if you will, and I feel a strong spiritual connection, but I don't follow any specific religion, and most likely never will.
Is there a word for my convictions?

Thanks for the info guys.
Im a theist who could easily become a deist. They're pretty much the same except deist's believe that god created the universe, 'winded it up' so to speak, and stepped back never to interfere.

What are you called if you just don't care if there is or isn't a god?
