Purpose of Days of Change

Over the last few months, I've felt something changing inside me. I've always grown up in the church, but walked away from it a few times in the last couple of years. It was especially difficult for me when my own father (a pastor) passed away in 2007. Since then, I was laid off, ran the risk of losing my home and being unable to pay my bills. After almost a year and a half, I found a part-time job at a christian bookstore and ever since I've been searching.

I've been searching for peace, happiness, wholeness, community...all good things. I've seperated from some of those people in my life that just weren't good for me or were using me in some way. I've started my journey with the purchase of a new study bible and the best intentions to really understand why I believe what I believe. I still intend to be as open, accepting and understanding as I am right now; but perhaps I can even be moreso with His help. Over the next few days, weeks, months (and maybe even years) I hope to use this space to keep track of what I'm learning and feeling in regards to these things. Any and all comments are encouraged and greatly appreciated!
