Help thou my unbelief
I dont normally repost other peoples posts, but I will do it here. I did not write the following, but agree with it:
"These two talks both showed up in my life & in my faith journey when I needed every single word of them. They spoke to the whirlwind that was raging in my heart. I’ve always been a seeker, a question asker, a heart and mind and eyes wide open kind of observer. If there’s truth, I’ve just wanted to find it; to understand it; to take it in. And let me tell you, that journey hasn’t been an easy one. It’s not easy to sit with your heart and mind wide open; it’s not easy to just be still and leave space for unknown, for clarity to come, for perspective, for different perspectives, for comprehension, for faith. But as hard, even heart wrenching as that’s been at times, I wouldn’t want to live any other way.

Some of my most heart wrenching and terrifying questions have brought me some of my most precious and prized experiences & understandings. Some of my most heart wrenching questions have cracked my heart wide open to loving others and understanding life in even more profound ways. Some of my most heart wrenching questions after years and tears have ended up filling me with heaven in ways I’ll never forget.
Some answers needed time and space to take place. Some answers needed time for me to grow into; to gain perspective, to broaden my paradigm. Some answers I needed to heal parts of me, to let go of limiting and false beliefs to find. And some answers I’m still holding space for; sometimes with the kind of faith to move mountains, and sometimes by a thread, but always holding space.
I keep feeling like there’s someone who needs this or I probably wouldn’t be sharing such a vulnerable post. But whoever this is for, I just want you to know you’re not alone. In fact, if we could all tell our honest to goodness, bare bones story, I’d bet we’d probably find our stories and experiences have a lot more in common than not. ❤️
Know wherever you’re at on your journey whether it’s faith or no faith or somewhere in between, I love you, respect you, and honor where you’re at & nothing will change that. It’s okay to have questions; in fact, asking questions is amazing. And It’s okay not to know everything yet. There's not many things I know for sure, but one thing I feel I do is that we were meant to love each other and be here for each other. If ever you need someone to talk things through with on your own faith journey, I’m here; all ears & an open heart."
