~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Just over a year ago I posted [THIS SECRET]. Today? I do believe in God and know that he gave me this life not as punishment, but as preparation. My past didn't happen to me, it was given to me - a gift I now feel compelled to use in a positive way, rather than as an excuse.

It is always amazing how time and perhaps distance, if we allow, will allow events, feelings and lessons learned turn into positives.
AMEN
A little something that I have found to be relevant for all stages of my life..."when the student is ready, the teacher appears."
I wonder, do you find yourself feeling happier inside, at your core, where it really counts? When I finally started realizing some things about God and life and purpose and intention, I got to a point where I actually could feel it inside that something had changed. It's a lifelong process, but when things first start making sense? Whoa!
What a ride, huh? :)
*smiles*
I totally agree.
I like that 'when the student is ready the teacher appears' thats the best thing I have heard in a long time....
I don't believe that God causes the bad things to happen in our lives, I believe that He is there to help us through them. I can't imagine going through my difficult times without my faith. I hope your new realization is life changing for you and Cam.
kim-d was very profound. No doesn't always mean no..sometimes it means "not now"..
I hope you found comfort in your new outlook. Faith is a tremendously difficult thing to understand.
perfect outlook.
Kannon, for me it's time - time to get unstuck from where I am, eager to movee forward.
Doomed, I thought you might say that!
Kim-d, oh yes, something has changed, but for me it was a feeling I'd had before but had long forgotten. The second it came back I wondered what took me so long to get there!
RLL, I'm smiling a lot more these days too!
DB, that was a great line, wasn't it?
Snugs, faith is a fickle thing though. If it's not nurtured and nourished, it tends to fade.
Buff, I looked at your comment on my original secret and it was, "I am fond of saying, "There is a God, we just don't know what He wants"... I've always believed we've been given enough tools to deal with most of our own problems- I also will admit most of my problems were caused by me." I think both of your comments are quite profound.
Karen, I looked at yours too which was, "Very deep. I think someone could write a whole book on that one sentence." I think that reflects on your comment today quite well.
Sage, thank you!
The jury is still out with me
