reconciliation

On the other side of this door Michael and I knelt down behind a screen and both, one at a time, confessed more than 3 decades of sins each.

Not. Easy.

Walking into this confessional I felt broken, heavy hearted, and even a bit scared. Walking out of this confessional I felt grace, gratitude, and a new beginning awaiting me.

As a knelt praying in the church, the weight of what Jesus did for me overwhelmed me. In a moment of complete surrender I felt God's love for me in a way I had never felt before. And in that moment, I was surrounded by a complete peace.

I remain humbled that I have a faith that allows me to know God and to feel His presence. For the first time in my life, I realized what a gift faith truly is.
