2.4 We Believe in God and are Women of Faith, Big Ocean Round Table Discussion

Members of Big Ocean Women discuss Faith and how it impacts their lives, their actions, and their wider beliefs. 

 

As moms of faith It is one of our deepest desires that we can translate our value system to our children… the way to do that with children is to know and understand first what you believe in. Children can feel a sense of discrepancies between your ideas what you believe and what you do.

As a young mom, they were three ideas that I wanted to impart upon my children I wanted them to Love God, love for people, and love this world.  I decided that if they loved and understood those three things everything else would come naturally.

When raised in faith We invariably reach a point in our lives, where our faith is challenged, but if you walk through that complexity,  and you ask questions, and research and dive into the complexity, you reach a place of simplicity on the other side of complexity that is a beautiful place to be, that is more valuable than staying in the original simplicity.

Recently, I was having some personal trials, and I wanted answers, and I felt like the only answer I was getting was to be still and I felt like that was not the answer that I wanted because I wanted to know more about what the future would look like and all I kept getting this be still be still…and as I did that, I came in to that next simplicity again and I’ve had a lot more peace in my heart, and in my mind

I have gone through a number of faith crisis, and I have learned that I need to give myself the grace to step back when I need to step back into engage when I need to engage… when I need to step back what I personally focus on is eternal patterns its this meta this level above scripture in my mind less linguistic and more symbolic.
