[quote=Anonymous]I didn't find God. He found me.

For a few years I felt something needed fixing. I was raised Catholic and hated catechism, hated going to church, didn't have my kids baptized. It all seemed fake to me. I thought how can I be perfect when I'm not perfect ? I am human. Humans make mistakes.

My family was highly religious, cousin was a priest, I call my brother The Pope, my aunt regularly entertained priests at her home. I took a personal beating, mouth that is, regularly for not doing what I was supposed to do. But I held my ground. My husband was raised the same way. My FIL told me God would take my kids because of what we were doing. God does NOT do that. There were times we were shunned by family especially on religious holidays. I wasn't offended. I did think they were wrong to treat us that way.

Aren't good christians supposed to love unconditionally? Be giving, caring, nonjudgmental ? I didn't see any of that. The family was religious but not spiritual. There is a difference. All their goodness came with strings. FAKE FAKE FAKE.  I accepted that. Didn't like it but life goes on.

About 7 years ago I had a spiritual awakening. Immediate, intense, very moving. I was shocked. Not something I expected. From that day on my whole outlook on life changed dramatically. And it's been wonderful.

If you are human you have God DNA in you. You don't have to believe in him. HE believes in YOU. 
Your questioning alone says you are on your way to finding what you need.
AMEN !
