There are so many ‘they says’ and I have to deal with my ‘methinks’ too. Christian beliefs cause me to structure my thinking. I’ve come to many things that are just too high for me and came to believe that God Knows and people suppose.

Over 30 years ago I truly wanted to die. Thinking was so distorted that I thought my child would be better off without me and took the matter into my hands and all the while prayed. Even then I knew my mind was going in two directions… asking for forgiveness and saying I just wanted peace. After surviving my attempted suicide I was given an opportunity to view life and death. No matter the ‘methinks’ or ‘they says’ I experienced that God is love. So, I’ve come to ask questions and seek for answers as best as I’m able.

Isn’t the word afterlife something worth pondering…afterlife, then what? Will ‘they says’ or ‘methinks’ ever have an answer for what’s after life?

As a Christian I have so many faults and failings that the only thing I know to trust is God Knows … I can only suppose. Even reading Scriptures generate questions for each person in their personal life. How do I think about afterlife? Living today the best I can do regardless of what is and is not going on… trusting in mercy and grace to be much more than I can comprehend.

I have Gratitude for failing in an attempted suicide over 30 years ago. And more important to me now, Gratitude for hope in life after this human journey. My spirit is going gently onwards even in the midst of all the unknowing about what’s after…Perhaps in knowing I don’t know, I begin to know that I don’t know as I ought to know. I think upon a verse found in the Bible about life (Ref: John 17:3). This share isn’t intended to bend anyone to think as I do. I’m only sharing my personal view and a belief preference.

Thank you, for l a place to respectfully share.

Gently Onwards,
Ibme
