20 years ago I was a Christian and decided to run away from God as fast as I could.
I have been homeless,
I had lost my children,
I was the victim of domestic violence
I spat on God in every way I knew how.
Illness on top of illness, from thyroid to Manic depression. I have ended up taking 20 different meds each morning and evening. And yet, even then my symptoms have only been mildly reduced.
I have been living far below the poverty line making nine thousand dollars a year on disability. My son knows that he can't have those high school memories in the form of a year book or a letterman jacket. He knows we can't afford it.
I have been angery and distrustful of God and of religion.
I came back to God two days ago.
It is hard to even say the words, "I believe in God" , I have been an Atheist all these years. I have cursed God at every chance that came and meant it with all my heart.
I am trying to take in and to adjust to my new way of thinking. I have to face all those people who know of my hatred and confess my new heart.
I still don't know about tomorrow, I only know that something is different. something inside me is different.
