My Story: a brief pause.
I need to take a brief pause for a few days.
I am moving across the United States.
When I return I hope to go deeper into my story and how God has woven these events from the night I first met J.P. The “voice” returns and spins my life on a dime in a huge way. I meet up with J.P. in an unexpected way 20 years later that turns out to be a pivotal point in my journey once again. I promise, there are some really supernatural, God-moments that I will share. I’m talking about really strange and fascinating events. I would not believe it myself had it not happened to me.
God is in our lives whether we know it or not. Even when you cannot feel God or think that you have lost your way, God is there. This journey is not about an institution or finding a church. This journey is about meeting and encountering God in our daily life and one definitely does not need to be religious to encounter God. I believe the message of Jesus’ life is about humanity discovering the nearing presence of God in our midst. God has come searching for us. God is looking for you. Regardless of where you are in your journey God is looking for you. God seeks us until we are found. It is about love. The love of God is the reason we exist. You are not bad and unworthy despite what conventional religion may have attempted to get you to believe. You are loved by the Source of Light and Life. Jesus said that the “kingdom” of God is in us.
Go to your closet, open your heart and you will find God is already there waiting for you.
You are loved.
You are loved.
You are loved.

I feel sad that you are leaving San Francisco, despite the fact that you really won't be farther away than you have already been, thanks to your blog. Still, California will miss you.

P.S. Thanks For "Your Story". I'm deep into it.
Safe travels, now that you are there - where are you now?
Enjoying the story...
After I left the comment on the Carlos Santanna post, I read the rest of the story you've posted so far. Then I wrote nearly a book on my blog about the thoughts bouncing around in my head and the explosion in my heart. At the end of the post, I wrote this:
I feel almost unworthy to pray and say, "God, now what?" since I've pretty much ignored him for so long.
After getting my daughter fed, I returned to the computer and noticed that I hadn't read *this* post. Unworthy, indeed. I'm crying again. This is not a bad thing...rather it's a sense of relief. This feels like one of those days when the agenda is *not* mine.
