I’m not sure if this comment already posted because I seem to struggle with commenting 🙄, but I just wanted to thank you for your writing and say that I’m glad you’ve reached a place of peace. Spiritual transitions are so intense and chaotic sometimes, it’s nice when we settle into the new place spiritually. I look forward to more posts!

Such a wonderful post. You put some of my current thoughts to words beautifully. I was raised in the Catholic tradition. I was "saved" in college and have been attending Protestant churches since. I truly believe in the sovereignty go God, he is creator and invested in and loves me. I have not one ounce of me that questions that. But something has always felt distant. This past week we attended a Living Nativity at an historic Catholic Church in Harpers Ferry. We have been doing some homeschooling with friends who are devout Catholic. (I venture to say pre Vatican II Catholic practices) As I walked into that Church I felt home. The beauty, the statues, the tabernacle, the sound of the bells at just the right places, the sense of reverence. My brain has been struggling for 30 years to understand how it is all wrong, the catholic bashing I have had to listen to, sorry I digress. I appreciate your words and I look forward to more posts, I am hoping to glean some resources I can use as I start to try to seek and find a deeper peace and relationship with God. I can't explain how I felt when I was at the living nativity, it wasn't a touchy feely experience but something deep in my soul that brought me to tears and peace I haven't felt in a very long time. Thank you for sharing such a personal journey.
