Grappling with God

Hello everyone!

I used to visit the old NOM forum as "Finally Free" and was so sad to see it disappear. I'm so glad that you've brought it back to life. It's a great community that needs to exist! I just wanted to officially introduce myself and say hello. I was very anguished when I first found NOM several years ago, but thankfully I've found a lot of peace since then. I completely quit church, then started up again, then quit again, then started up again, then quit. It was all very hot and cold. Now I attend off and on as I choose. I take the good and leave everything else. Also, I'm bolder at speaking out than I was. I am in the process of telling the whole story of this evolution at https://grapplingwithgod.wordpress.com/. I'm so glad NOM is back up and running. It was a very helpful and transformative place for me and I look forward to spending more time here.

-Andrea

thanks for the introduction. we are all in a different place, and we all have a different pace, but we can travel along together toward the same destination. :D

Welcome Grappling.

I haven't read your blog, but I like your username.

I hope you'll spend some time amongst us and chime in sometimes.

It's good to be aware that God cheats when it comes to one-on-one grappling, as we learn from the Old Testament Jacob. Watch your hip sockets!

Welcome (back) to NOM!

I feel the same way where I feel like, "I can make it work!", then "No I can't" off and on again for the last few years. I'm currently in the "no I can't" cycle. Who knows what is next.

Excellent!
That is the heart and soul of NOM which I love.
IMO, It's the best way to approach most things, really.
