September, the harvest month . . . Summer is over and autumn has arrived.

Welcome to the Faith & Spirituality board! We're here to explore our spiritual paths, seek our personal Truths, and support each other along the way. Please feel free to ask any questions, post any ideas, or just 'think out loud.'
So pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage and tell us about yourself. Who are you? Where are you? And what's happening (or not happening) in your spiritual life right now?

Who are you?
That's a hard question. I guess the best answer would be I am cotton candy, getting pulled apart by everyone who needs something from me. Someday I will be Just the stick!
Where are you? Stuck in limbo
And what's happening (or not happening) in your spiritual life right now?
That's the hardest...in search of answers. Looking for inner piece but never finding it.
That elusive inner peace is a tough thing... every time I think I've found it, something (or someone) comes along to break it.
Who are you?
I am new here and currently live in Texas but was raised in Wisconsin.
Where am I spiritually?? Easy question with one simple answer...I am a follower of the One True God, whose Son is Jesus Christ, my Redeemer, Savior and the Lord of my life. Sound radical? Sound like a Jesus Freak? Yes I am on fire for God and unashamed! And although I will not be moved I also will respectfully and lovingly accept comments and questions. God loves you all.
Welcome again KC.
Hi... I didn't see a September Roll Call, so I'll post in here.
My name is Ren, and I'm 30 years old. I grew up in Alabama, and now live in Massachusetts with my husband and 2 cats.
My husband's family are devout Christians, as are many of our friends; most of my family are only nominally Christian. I've tried to be a Christian, go to church, read the Bible... and it would work for a while, but it has never felt quite right. I've always been drawn towards Pagan religions.
Lately, though, I haven't felt spiritual at all. In the last year or so, I got married, bought a house, bought a car. My brother attempted suicide. My father and I stopped speaking to each other. I was in therapy for several months trying to deal with my chronic depression; then seeing a psychiatrist to deal with my adhd. At some point, I just shut down. I feel like I've been stumbling blind through the last few months. I didn't have any desire to pray, worship, or connect with god in any way. I really haven't done anything but go to work, eat, shop, and play on the internet.
I am here now because I finally seem to be coming out of it. I am feeling the desire to be connected with god again. But I know I can't do it as a Christian. I have to go with my real beliefs, rather than what my family and friends think is right.
Well, that's plenty for now... thanks for reading. Hope to get to know you all better. :)
Thanks for sharing Ren!
