Last week I shared about my spiritual journey and when we left off, I was entrenched in my bitterness and overwhelming disappointment with the church. I had lost all trust in myself as well as in this institution that had been a huge part of my life.

Which leads me to this week and the resources I’d promised to provide for how I dug myself out of that place. First of all, it took a while, but as my body and soul started to heal, I realized that God had never left me.  

God did not leave me when I was in the deepest dark night of my soul. He was there holding me and waiting for me to reach back out.
 

My path to healing was a ton of time spent trying to better understand who God is. My constant companion was the request that He reveal himself to me. For me, that revelation happened as I dug deeper into the words of the Bible and the history surrounding the events that are depicted. 

He is. In His own words, He simply is. Which means that He is energy and matter and He is in everything that we see and experience around us. The Bible actually says that quite frequently but it’s more than this great being in the sky lording His will over us. 

He is truly within us and is teaching us through our own experience and intuition. Not quite sure what I mean? Listen to hear all about what I learned and why our greatest resource when trying to heal from trauma is to relearn how to listen to our gut.
