I’ve been sitting around all day wondering how I was going to write an introduction to this post. What could I say that would add more impact? Then it occurred to me, maybe I should just let the comment speak for itself. So here it is - I received this in response to some of the ideas discussed in the ups and downs of faith. Naturally these reader comments are more insightful than my own. Don’t you just hate that?!
As far as R3 goes.. I can see why you wouldn’t want to write, and I can totally relate to feeling like if you did it’d be a fraud, but I think that writing in times like this is just what R3 is about :o]. I mean, R3 is a blog where people learn how to live out a life of faith. How else can we learn to live out a life of faith if our faith isn’t tested at times, if we don’t want to just throw in the towel some times, if we don’t want to give up and call our losses? I think that this time in your life is the perfect time to be writing on R3. I think that you should talk to your readers about what you’re going through and by telling your readers what you’re going through they may see what it is that they need most - a demonstration of what it looks like to live a life of faith. And that, in my opinion, is more impactful than hearing someone write when things aren’t hard (not to say that those writings aren’t important - but I’m sure you know what I mean :o]).
