Daily Prompt: In Good Faith
by michelle w. on June 14, 2013
Describe a memory or encounter in which you considered your faith, religion, spirituality — or lack of — for the first time.
As far back as I can remember, I have been spiritual and very attuned to Nature. I was raised Southern Baptist, taught the Bible by my maternal grandpa, who was a Southern Baptist Preacher. I held true to his teachings, but lost faith several times in my 50+ years. For me it would be a lack of faith that I would notice. I remember the first time. It was such a long time ago, 1972, when my baby brother was killed. I still had my grandpa to turn to, but he was in deep grief for a long time. The one thing that I remember helped me most, was reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.
In 1995, I came across another book that helped me understand more and come to peace with Creator; Conversations With God, Book 1, by Neale Donald Walsch.
I have turned to these books over and over again throughout the years. The books and what my grandpa taught me has sustained my faith through many trying times.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull is another of my favorite books, but I’m yet to read conversations with God. I like what you said about not noticing faith, but rather the times when there is lack of it.

I’ve heard Conversations with God is very provocative. Maybe I’ll give it a shot…
Glad you got into the place you wanted to be, Mama Bear.
