Day 18: Finding God in my own story

I spent the weekend at a women's retreat that focused on the different periods in our spiritual journey. 




This theme made me reflect on when and how I came to faith,  moments that I felt separated from God,  how I was transformed by difficult moments of faith and what practices help me choose hope or faith when finding God isn't easy.  

As I thought back on a life of faith marked with peaks and valleys,  and shared my story, I was a little surprised by how rich my faith journey was. I could see a story written by God in my life.

There is a richness in the narrative that when I read the story back to myself I start to see things that God has been building across the length of time.  Through the highs and lows. 

And while I feel like the same person and I still struggle with the same stuff, I've grown.  I've been transformed in ways I haven't noticed because they were small and incremental.
