Faith

How I worry about my children - but should I?

When I look back upon my life I can see that I had no real direction, and was quite unhappy for a good proportion of time. The turning point came when I made the decision to leave my parents, and my job in Sheffield, and take up the opportunity of teaching at Sibford. It was there that I found my Faith - with the Quakers, and things started to move forward. Life was not necessarily easy by any means as I have many stories to tell, but the important thing is that my life had, and still has, a purpose!

I listen to all the arguments about Christianity, the Churches, people I know, scripture, and all the rest, but in my quiet time 'I know' (not just believe), that God is present at all times, and is with me as he has always been. I can only say this from personal experience, and quietly know he is there. He has held my hand when I most needed it - quite literally! People can say what they want - but I know!!! You don't have to jump up and down, quote the Bible, or anything else - just give him a chance!

Therefore give the chance for him to speak to you personally - it happens through the 'heart', and is very real when you submit to his voice.

Words cannot describe the process of communication, but you have to listen to 'God' rather than those who think that they know - it is very personal!

God will bless you when you tackle the life that he gave you in the spirit of understanding of why he gave it to you in the first place.

It is then that you associate yourself with the Church community which offers the support that you feel is appropriate for you.
