Recently, after a series of particularly stressful and harsh events, I had a day that was full of tiny moments that all seemed designed to push me towards God. As I've never been a regular churchgoer (beyond the social aspects) and certainly not a believer, this came as a bit of a shock. I have never felt that I was missing anything, but it was too strong of a feeling to ignore. It seems that if God does exist, that this would be his MO. It is possible that in a month or week or day that the compulsion will pass. It is also possible that it will not.
I started this blog to document the process.
This makes me want to cry... But this time for happiness in that you are finding peace. I have always had religion in my life but not until college did I find spirituality. My relationship with God became strong and it came at a time when I was needing Him the most. You wrote it all so beautifully and i believe it will speak to many who are going through the same thing-- I hope that you find your journey through Faith is meaningful, encouraging and full of love. hugs to you!!!
ReplyDeleteI am seriously excited to read your blog. I think most of us have had those moments or days or weeks or years that lead us toward church and toward religion in general. For me, it was when my fiance's mother passed away. It was a terrible, horrible time for me that I still grapple with. It pushed me back toward the church and a brand of humility I haven't experienced before. It's a different journey for everyone, and I'm looking forward to following yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andi. I'm enjoying the journey, so far.
