What we need is a requirement that those who wish to enter actually have a change of heart—that they don’t sneak in to accomplish their own agenda, but rather that they genuinely want to learn a new way of thinking, feeling, living, and being in 'the pastures of God.' -- Brian McLaren, Fr Richard's Daily Meditations, June 4, 2025
Awareness of this "change of heart" is what I believe I have been living since 3:00 AM, April 30th, when I was awakened by a sharp jab in my stomach. Unknowingly, my change began.
As I have been writing, this is and has been a scary journey. But I have not turned back...on I walk with doubt, without doubt, scared, peaced...up until this past week when a sureness settled on me (with shaking hands remaining).
I am not wholly peaced, I am settling. Settling in the new mindset that has been given me...I do not have the words yet to adequately tell my feelings...scared while sensing peace underneath?
This I believe: Peace underneath is the Christ within.
Thank you.
