Doing a Little Better Now

[mvillarreal]

I'm still not 100%, but I am able to function now and am not constantly blue anymore. Now that I am in a better head space, what are some recommendations you might have for spiritual guidance? To be clear, and please don't take this the wrong way, but I am not looking to be converted to any particular religion. I am just wanting to know what you recommend for people who are wanting some guidance to find their own spiritual path? It would be nice to have someone to help me through my questions and struggles, especially when these questions can put me in such heavy places.

It's completely up to you however Sometimes doing what makes us feel comfortable is not actually doing what is right. Talk to God and ask to be shown the path.

Hi mvillarreal, I'm really glad you are now as you say, able to function now and not constantly blue anymore. It's a great beginning, a great place to start a new life. Perhaps you will deeply consider my response to your heart's desire to have a better life. My life story is full of dysfunction. Growing up a victim of alcoholism and emotional abuse does a lot of damage. And then, to continue the dysfunction, I did evil things as an adult that still to this day bring about terrible wounding consequences to those I have hurt. I strongly believe that there is indeed a spiritual world that has two paths. One path is darkness and the other is light. Obviously, I was in darkness in my childhood and then continued the same path as a young adult. As an adult, I thought I was in control, that I could control my life as well as others. And living in a dark place, I was good at doing ugly things and thought I was happy. But I wasn't. You asked about guidance toward a spiritual path and I can offer the only One that gave me peace, comfort and has sustained me through temptations and hardships. It was hard to always be in control! It was hard to see how I hurt others and I finally broke down and asked Him to take over. I was exhausted mentally, emotionally and spiritually. That's what evil will do. I now claim Jesus as my Lord. He promises to never leave me or abandon me. It is a comfort above all comforts. Light overcame darkness. I am praying for you, blessings
