I was raised in the church all my life. And even though I was raised in the church, growing up you don't really know the words for what they are till you've lived in the world long enough to recognize their real value. This blog is me getting back to my faith. Whether anyone finds this of any entertaining, educational, maybe even inspiring to some, I have no idea.
When I left home for college I didn't go to church that much and as time went by I even stopped talking to God. The more time that went by the more there seemed to be something missing and I never really connected the two until over a year ago. It was then that life became incredibly hectic and I found my self struggling to keep up. Something awful happened and it was as if suddenly my eyes were finally open and the world wasn't the same as it was the day before. It took me a long time to come to grips with what happened and in that time I sat down and had a long talk with God. The stress became to much and I finally let go of the wheel and let the car drive itself. And when I did, I gained a calm, a quiet that has stayed with me. And I've realized as I kept on talking to God the more that long emptiness started to go away. Now reading over the scripture again I've found the meaning behind those words more vivid and honest than I could have ever seen before. Through those words I found out who I am and who I hope to be.
Its going to be a long road but on this road will be I'm sure, a lot of humor, sarcasm and self realization.
