Hiya, remember I mentioned that I’m opening the way for others to share on Godly Goodies? Well, here’s some sharing.
Written by Sandra Moniet
Let me share a pivotal moment from my life.
On January 13, 1993, I made the conscious decision to embrace Christianity. I was 29 years old.
Thus began my profound connection with God. I had a newfound awareness of a higher power. I felt a protective presence surrounding me, and I knew it had always been there.
My cravings for drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes disappeared.
My life up to this point had been one hell of a mess. I found myself acting out in unimaginable ways. The grip of addiction held me tightly.
As I was writing this, I realized it was only one week after my conscious decision that I discovered I was pregnant with my second daughter. Reflecting on this now, it’s astonishing how the Universe seemed to watch over me and my daughter during this crucial time.
In the years since I've had several relapses and lost my way. My journey has been marked by an unwavering search for healing, especially as I have battled deep, dark depression and anxiety. Amidst the struggle, I've yearned to find my place in this vast world.
I’ve yearned to feel whole.
Then, on August 11th of last year, something profound occurred – a heart event I now recognize as a spiritual awakening. A shift of love, ease, and simplicity uprooted my familiar reality of hell.
The awakening shattered my existing self-beliefs, turning them completely upside down. It wasn’t a conscious choice; instead, it felt like an entirely new world opening before me – a direct, undeniable experience that defied my previous understanding of who I thought I was.
Without question, I now understand who I am.
I now understand that I am of God. Period!
As a being of God, I now actively embrace the role of a spiritual seeker, not out of curiosity or because I feel broken but because I adore living in joy, love, belonging, grace, guidance, and all that good stuff God offers.
Like all of us, I will always be a work in progress.
However, I now know that this work in progress is whole.
Sincerely,
Sandra
I so relate to becoming whole and a seeker rather than I'll and desperate. Your realization about being a seeker brought clarity to you as well as to me. I had it but reading g that point allows me to understand seeking answers separating from the struggle. Thank you for the clarity your story gave me.
