Message | You want to know what happened to me after reading your Personal entry on "Faith"? I am sitting here at my desk chair in tears. Maybe the road I have chosen has been difficult, maybe I have made poor decisions in my life, there are things I regret, yes. Yet, after hitting my lowest point in my life about 3 years ago, I had to find myself again and have faith that I would reach the other side. I had lost touch with God, and then blamed God for letting me fall the way I did.
After finally reaching out for help of friends and family, I also found God again, though I didn't feel I was ok to be in His presence. As I was finding it hard to take the next step in life, to find my way on my own, or not on my own, I felt I was standing on the edge of the highest Olympic diving platform looking so far down to the pool below that I couldn't see if there was any water in that pool or not. Someone told me, "just jump and trust that the water will be there." That was more difficult than one might imagine. But I finally did. It was all a matter of faith. Faith in myself, faith in those around me, and faith in God, that tugs deep in my soul.
Yes, I am in tears as I read your entry about "Faith" but it is real, it is true, and it is a deep-down personal choice that grips the very core of who we may be.
Thank you for sharing.
Love you,
