Love your post. Thank you sharing your story. My mom and I talk a lot about the faith and spirituality this has given/renewed in people. It’s an amazing blessing.
Couple of things, hear me out:
God deserves the capital G ; )
When you say that you “should have believed in yourself sooner”, replace “yourself” with God. He comes before ourselves and He (capitalize that H!) receives ALL THE GLORY.
I do not say this patronizingly. FAITH IS A JOURNEY and I am so glad you have started yours (He is too!). I am just passing along some important things that I have learned on mine.
Ask him to direct you in your faith. He will tailor it just for you. He actually already did. Reread your post, which is really a testimony. He heard your call (that you may not have realized you were making) when you tried to build a belief in Him but your brain just couldn’t get there. So he gave you Q knowing that is what your brain needed. You prayed, without even realizing, and He answered before you even realized. He is AMAZING like that!
This is why He gets all the glory, even what we don’t see yet. Giving Him all the glory and putting Him above ourselves (and everything/everyone else) may sound weird at first but something you should strive for. You will then see the true beauty of life. It brings you closer to Him, strengthens your relationship and opens you up to even more of His blessings.
Seek to recognize all of those blessings and be thankful for them. Bonus points: when you can find the blessings and THANK GOD for even your PROBLEMS.
