Well Hi !
I am just glad that I found this site. Very cool, lots of wisdom...
I don't really know my intro yet..it is still working itself out. I do know my past and can share that a bit. I thought that I understood the gospel 25 years ago. I pretty much have always consistently believed in a God ...and well, the bible was a nice read. I understood that man was full of sin and that there was a prayer to pray... I recently found out I was missing a key part, and was fortunate to find it! What I was missing was that it was accepting something with FAITH and with a heart that was willing to really give it all and SURRENDER to Christ's Lordship...and that it was for me!
I got it now.... .and will never let it go. October 22nd means a LOT to me now. lol
So, from here? Well I have had a few amazing weeks full of just wanting to explode at points with a ball of something deep inside (I know sounds weird but I haven't figure out a word for it yet)....I can go through a parking lot and "feel" the hurt going on in others around me. Makes me want to go up and hug them or tell them there is more, and I see them for who they really are.
And now? well....the last week I have honestly been seeing that ball of something deep inside being snuffed out more and more. I have had a tidal wave of new and old problems hit me....hurts and fears all seeming to find their way back in. And have realized that while my inside is changed..my circumstances really haven't. I also realized that need to understand and grow, and while I cannot put myself out there in a church right now....I can do my best to find answers and put myself out here.
That's me ...just me! I so hope to be an encouragement...and to be encouraged. I soooo hope that this desire to grow and learn continues and that I can gather wisdom and answers to some of the basics out here.
We'll have to see where my intro ends
Thanks all and well met!
