Back in the Spring, my friend Liz messaged me to ask if I’d write a blog post for her series, My Discovery Process. Having left church in 2013, I went through a process of discovering what it is I believe about God and Christianity outside of the church. To be honest, it’s a journey I’m still traveling through. But over the course of the past three years, I’ve learned a thing or two, as well as ripped out and replaced deeply-rooted beliefs. So, when Liz asked, I thought it was a great opportunity to write out my current beliefs:
I believe in Grace, and I’m learning to believe in Love.
I don’t know if there’s a God up in the sky who’s listening to prayers. I don’t even know if there’s an eternity waiting on the other side of death or if the grave is all there is. I don’t know if my best life is now or after I die, so I’m learning to treat each moment as precious and extraordinary.
Awesome you and Liz are chatting and sharing. Good job.
Yes, it’s so nice to have someone who understands where you’re coming from and where you’re headed!
