(When I realized that this site was down and probably irretrievable in its past form, I also realized that maybe it was time to completely start anew and make this site a story of my journey. I started as someone who constantly needed proof of a Higher Power. I found that proof in the world around me, especially in Nature.
I no longer need that constant proof but if I falter, I look at all that God has made, the intricacy of it all and that is enough proof for me.
I decided to re-post one of the first posts from the original site as the ‘First Post’ of the new site. I’ve changed some since then but the affirmation is still very important to me and so is the confession that came with it. If for no other reason to prove to myself that people (me)can change for the better, even though I haven’t always been sure that I could.)
First Affirmation
As I’ve explained, I have had this project percolating for quite some time but couldn’t quite bring it to fruition. I’ve prayed a lot about this and although I’ve been given snippets here and there, I’ve been left kind of in the dark as to how to actually implement it all.
So, the other day I was praying for a start, something to get me in the groove, so to speak. A first post that would do a little bit more than just explain what I felt I needed to do but maybe delve into the why and maybe actually start to do what it is I feel called to do. Well, God doesn’t always give you exactly what you ask for, sometimes he gives you what you need. (This is beginning to sound like a Rolling Stones song) But in the end, it usually works out for the better.
Although I didn’t know it, what I needed most was to know I was headed in the right direction. What I needed was to know that I hadn’t misunderstood what I was being called to do. And that’s what God gave me.
