TRUTH in my Spiritual Journey

Thanks to Holly for this link up and the motivation to write about my spiritual journey. Stop by Holly's blog and join us!

My post is late today...busy week with Back to School Night! (I'm so tempted to read the other posts, but I want to write mine before I do that!) 

 I've been thinking about the word truth since the theme was announced. What is my truth in my spiritual journey? 

 I believe in God. 
I believe in love and God's love for me. 
I believe that God has a plan.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. 

 Those are my truths. The truths that guide my life.
Other than those statements, when I think about truth I am filled with questions instead of answers. 

 Is truth absolute? Are there perspectives in truth? Can someone interpret truth? Is it possible for truth to be wrong? Can different interpretations, based on our lives, be true?!?! What is truth?

 My mind spins with confusion and wondering...and then I remember that God is my truth. 

 It's been a long day & a long week. I hope this post makes a little sense today....

    It makes total sense to me. God is truth.

    Can truth be wrong? Great questions here. I find it funny that two of your statements are total opposite for me. I do not believe in a plan or that everything happens for a reason. This may be counter to what you believe, but my experience tells me that reason and plans come when you are in a relationship with God. They are not random. Some people, for whatever reason, cannot know the plan or see the reason. Does this mean there is one, but they just don't know it? I don't think so. If I did, I would think that God only looks out for those of us who believe. I'm not sure if I am making any sense. As I said to Holly in response to her comment, I may have a whole blog post brewing here.

    Michelle, you seem to have many of the same questions that I have. Some of these questions I think I need to wait to get to heaven before the answers are clear:)

    I think you speak for many of us, who believe in the truth of God, but still have so many questions about the rest.... Thank you for your honesty!

    I think that being human doesn't allow us to fully appreciate the truth of God's - which involves a lot of trust. He doesn't mind our questions as long as we continue the conversation with Him. Your thoughts are appreciated!

Here I Am

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking for the past couple of days about this post...but I can't think of anything to write. Frozen in my failure, I want to quit, but I push through and show up here...even though it seems pointless. Who wants to read a blog post about nothing?  I begin to panic a bit...Have I "lost it"? My passion for blogging? My ability to blog? Why can't I think of something clever? What do I have to say that anyone will want to read? (By the way, I'd have all of these answers if it was you asking the questions!) Should I quit? Give up? Accept defeat? NO.  Instead, I show up.  Instead, I remember the words I said yesterday to my seventh-graders,  "Show up. It gets easier." Instead, I write and show grace to myself. Instead, I remember that blogging is a muscle that I haven't stretched in a while and I need to warm up, I need to take some deep breaths. Here I am. Showing up to the page. I'...

Someday...

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers . Do you have dreams? Kids are good at dreaming. I find many adults struggle with it. Speaking for myself, I get so caught up in the everyday drudgery of life, that dreams get nudged aside until they disappear.  It's important to have dreams. I've been writing about my dreams in my notebook and so I thought I'd share my dreams here... 1. Writing a book.  While I'd love to get a book published, my dream is to write a book...to complete the act of writing it.  I've started on this dream and it's hard and challenging and exciting and amazing.  2. Living at the beach.    I love the water, the waves, the ocean smell, the seafood, the sand...all of it! The Outer Banks is my favorite place in the...

Chasing My Dream

I'm doing it. I'm chasing my dream. I've always wanted to run writing retreats and workshops for people, but I've always been too scared to do anything about it...until now. I don't know what's changed...maybe I've changed. I'm not allowing the fear to stop me anymore. I've started Selah Writing Retreats.  The past couple of weeks I've been getting the business end in order. I thought I would hate that...I don't. It's scary, but I am surprising myself with how efficient I am. Yesterday I went to a bank to set up a bank account. The woman I met with was kind and helpful and so enthusiastic about my dream. My website is set up. I've done lots of work on it. I hope you stop by and let me know what you think. It's  selahwritingretreats.com . Balancing creative with business has been challenging but fun. Creating the website, getting a federal tax id, making business cards, planning dates... My favorite voxer group is called Butt Ki...
