I'm not sure if this appropriate, I feel I need to share. I grew up Catholic, but wasn't into the regular traditions after I had my children. Anyway, in my faith there has always been the nagging doubt about priest. They even made the movie "Doubt" with Merryel Streep. I finally get confirmation, and since I have always associated my beliefs with God, their goes my faith.
At 18, I began to be more spiritual anyway, but I didn't realize how hard it was to let go of something, and why when it was something I never really knew about. Then life hits me, and it keeps hitting me hard, harder, and when I think it can't get harder, it does. I couldn't blame it in something I no longer believe in, so I blame myself.
One day, I realize I'm floating. I am literally floating. Because of what I was going through, U didn't want to live, let alone get up, and walk anywhere, but I did, and I absolutely did not feel like myself. At the time I let this be. After so many signs, I realize, I'm not only floating, I'm being carried
Have you ever read the poem "Footprints in the Sand"? I know how and why I felt the way I did. I realize that religion didn't make God, and man created religion, it is not of God, but every right has one thing in common - they all believe in a higher power, a supreme force, something grander then us human beings...
