New here, obviously.
I hope to find encouragement here.
I am currently trying to find belief... I have been an agnostic since about 1988 when the story of Abraham and Isaac was very poorly explained to me in sunday school. I am now very well read, not bragging - adding context. I have come to intellectually think that God is real and that Christ is Risen. I seem to be stumbling in accepting it in my heart. I get really really close and then, I don't know, stiffen up. I think that it is pride - I've been justifying lack of faith for 40 years so...
That might be a bit much for an intro - but that can help explain the thrust of any questions that I ask ask or replies that I make. Sincerely looking to understand, not for confrontation.
Anyhoo - HI!
By the way - I am NOT good at the timely reply to messages, texts, etc... so be not offended - it isn't you.
