Oh I have been waiting for this! Not only is my story so like yours, if I wasn’t considerably older than you, we could have been going down the same aisles!! There are trigger songs that if I hear anywhere, I look for an aisle simply cuz it was a default through early twenties! Really fast forward, after dipping in several various stream…
Oh I have been waiting for this! Not only is my story so like yours, if I wasn’t considerably older than you, we could have been going down the same aisles!! There are trigger songs that if I hear anywhere, I look for an aisle simply cuz it was a default through early twenties! Really fast forward, after dipping in several various streams (nod to R. Foster), I have since 2018 encountered my own stumbling out of the wardrobe into Narnia! The contemplative way and the discovery of more treasures than even Nicolas Gage in National Treasures! I have never felt more fully alive and can truly say, “aha! This is how it works!”. Ever since your “pithy little booklet” The Eternal Journey came out, I have hit repeat on it every 30 days and have ordered more times in bulk as a hospitality gift to everyone who enters my home! So yes, I am apprenticing under the greatest Artisan ever and even wear an Id bracelet with the word magnanimity on it ( my gift to myself in 2021) to remind me that after my husband went Home suddenly to us in 2016, just a year and a half later, I would be embarking on the greatest adventure I had ever experienced! To my 7 year old self walking the aisle at Rice Temple Baptist Church, I would say, “ oh child, you have no idea how faithful Your Father is to see you finished this walk!” Thank you a gazillion times Jonathan R. Bailey! I can’t wait for your book to find its way to my home and heart!
Gosh! This is so encouraging Beverly ... thank you for sharing ... and thank you for ordering so many Eternal Journey booklets and sharing with friends. It's so heartening to hear a little about your transformational story. We are kindred spirits! There are so many people who have experienced what you and I have gone through. Like you, I'm so grateful to be on a new path. May we keep walking, and in the words of St Francis de Sales, "Let us always have the fires of charity burning in our hearts!" Grace to you.
P.S. I know exactly what you mean by "Trigger songs." 😊
