And the journey continues...
It's been 7 years since I first began to feel like YaHWeH was shining His light of truth into my dim [traditional] way of thinking. The journey has been long and difficult-- as I tried to summarize on "My Journey" page. Everything that was familiar to me began to change; it was as though I had stepped into the looking glass (Alice in Wonderland)... my life began to feel like a C.S. Lewis book--- but it wasn't fiction. IT WAS MY REALITY. One can only understand the words of my testimony if one has embarked on this same path that has been laid before me~
And just when things began to slowly seem as though I could find some sort of "normal" in my life {although STILL not "normal" to others}... it began to change AGAIN!! If I thought everything was different than anything I had ever known before--- how much more now! If I thought I 'didn't know anything anymore' before--- how much more now! And if I thought I was misunderstood by others before-- how much more Now!! This path has taken me to places I never dreamed I would be... but, oh, how beautiful it is!!! [YaHWeH, TAKE ME--- I am Yours!]
About 3 years ago, the light of YaHWeH's truth began to shine in other places of my heart and mind... places that took four years to prepare me for--- four years to 'make ready' to receive and embrace the 'hard' truth that I had thought was "error". YaHWeH's truth--- YaHWeH's Torah. His Torah shines brighter and brighter, and His glory illuminates before me. Words fail me, as His love and grace enfolds me. I am so thankful and grateful that He has opened my eyes and ears to see and hear His truth--- His Torah! Now I am seeing clearer and clearer the importance of living the way He expresses for us to live- in the Torah-- His instructions. His "plan"/will for our "Living" has Not changed. So, I am learning to live the way He has given from the beginning, which is recorded in the Torah.
I live according to the Torah (as I learn it... praise YHWH for His grace!) because I LOVE Him and want to be obedient to what I believe He has instructed. It's my desire to please Him and that my life would be a joy to Him. I express my Love by my obedience-- the outward living out of my faith.
That is where I am now. Learning and loving YHWH's Word. Learning and loving... What a journey!
And it continues....
