COMMENT

There have been some issues with commenting (i.e. it literally will not let your mouse even click the post button). Here is my comment to Danielle Standifer's blog:


Danielle, I am so glad I am not the only one in this strangely manufactured boat. I have had moments in my life, the occurance of which never attributed to a certain mood, circumstance or significant time, in which I have doubted everything. The flow of these moments are as such:

Doubt in God > doubt in self > doubt in existence and eternal outcome of self > doubt of sensory perception > need for absolute truth > truth found in God > assurance found in God > reestablishment and strengthening of faith in God

Like you said, this process never takes longer than several minutes and even though it sounds quite upsetting it does seem to present some hope, or shimmering light at the end of the darkness. It is the progression from insecurity to “but God”. It always seems to increase my faith in God, just as my mother’s words reminding me that she loves me when I thought otherwise bring me to a better understanding of her love for me.
