I‘m about to dive into the deep end here and just talk about my journey of becoming a Christian.
It all started last year around the beginning of August, when I felt like I should start taking my journey with God seriously because I’ve been putting it back for so long.
I had no idea on how things will go but I went for it anyways. I watched sermons, listened to gospel music, prayed and read my bible daily. I was so excited to start my journey and tell everyone how great the Lord has been to me and how his changed my life for the better but NO! It turned out to be the complete opposite.
Around the end of October 2021, I went home with my dad to visit family members and on the last day I just felt off coming back from my dad’s hometown, it’s like I switched over night. I suddenly stopped praying, reading my bible and stopped listening to worship music for months. I’ve cried so many times and blamed myself constantly because I was just not getting things right. I’ve started feeling like this journey is no longer for me because it actually makes me feel so unhappy or maybe it’s because I’m struggling to adapt to change.
I just want to grow, be at peace and become a better person. And sometimes I feel like there’s been parts of me stripped away, that I feel were the best parts of me.
There is so much to say but I’ll close it off here.💕
People ask me all the time if I am religious and I answer them proudly every single time that I am not, religion was invented by men. God wasn't. I say that I believe in God more than anything!And don't worry about temptations. Everyone is going through them.Every single day is a temptation, but we are strong and we can go through them with love.Sending hugs💕💖
Thank you💕 and you right it is hard and we all going through something. Sometimes I just wish there was no such thing as pain but because we live in such a world that’s so brutal, it’s hard to navigate at times.
We can always connect back to God anytime no matter how hard we fall off
Drop the guilt and go back
True! And that’s what I’m working on at the moment.
I think we go through phases like this in our lives when we are active in areas and suddenly develop lukewarm characters, in this case religion.
The past year to present have seen been say my prayers less, I remind myself every now and then it is wrong of me but I haven't put much effort in to get back to the prayerful me.
Interesting topic you've put together, I definitely can relate to this.
True! And it could be that I have not surrounded myself with people who share the same faith.
That could be a factor as well
