Faith
/ Autumn McKenzie JacksonEverything is going to work out. Change and trials happen. I was concerned that I was given more that I could handle. I was looking for a reason to give up. Still, I am not a quitter!
I am in awe of the peace that has been mine. It can only be explained by God. The joy and optimism that I have today is real. I am non confrontational. If your beliefs are different, I am not looking for heated debates over the tenants of religion. I just want to be transparent- my faith has given me and continues to give me hope. There is beauty in differences and dialogue. I can only share my experience as I know it to be true.
There are levels to everything. I can live a religious life that is sterile and devoid of divine power and muscle through life exhausted and overwhelmed or I can recognize the fullness of what Christ Jesus died to give me.
It has taken me years to express the sentiment found in this post. God has been working on my heart. There was a lot of shame and blame mixed in with my raw emotions that I needed to process.
The possibilities are endless. She is learning to hear from God. She knows that He has a plan and a purpose for her life. She has persevered through many things and her story of overcoming with help others.
Tory Palecek is my best friend from college. I met Tory the first day of volleyball preseason freshman year at Colgate University. We were both incoming freshmen. She immediately made an impression on me.
I am learning to thrive in increasingly complex situations.
