Mind in transition

This blog is about me, my family, and my social work career.

I'm confused, but still faithful; opinionated, but still thoughtful; steady, but still growing.

Tonight I find myself missing certainty.

I wish I could once again say:
God said...
God did...
God wants...

with assurance.

But I can't say that without it being contrived. I won't live in pretense again.

I want to say it and feel that it's real.

Remember being in this place as well. It wasn't fun, but then I realized that I can still say those things, just in a broader moe cautious fashion.

I can still say God said; "Love the Lord your God with all your heart...."

I can still say "God did make everything from nothing" even if I no longer am adamant I know *how* or *when*....

I can still say; "God wants me to exhibit the fruits of the spirit."

In other words, I can still have certainty regarding anything that is of any worth and enduring value, the rest that I no longer feel certainty of was all additives and fluff and Not What Really Matters in the grand scheme of things. It's a frightening, then humbling, then free-ing (in that order) place to find oneself.
