I really want to believe like I did when I was a teenager. A lot more things made a lot more sense back then. I did the right thing for the pleasure of doing it. And knowing it was agreeable to someone other than myself.
But I don’t want that to mean that I have to be like them or them or have to concern myself with stuff on this website.
My husband is the perfect example of non-fanatical faith. All those examples above don’t concern him. They’re not what he believes in. His belief is a reflection of the God he trusts in to have gotten him this far. And it helps him to do good things that help people and he never judges, just uses what he’s learned for positive reasons.
I really do want to be more like him and less like me. My heart wants to, my head says not yet.

Just know that the Bible says God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Religion can mess up a proper view of God but we also can’t make God in our own image in order to fit what is convenient. Seek Him & Pray and you will find the Truth. I usually recommend people pick up the Bible & start reading in John cuz it tells a lot about who Jesus was.
Anyway…just came across your blog & thought I’d drop my two cents in. I’ll pray 4 U.
