Coming out of the Closet

I'm really struggling with my writing, like I never have before.  

    

I'm terrified of talking about my faith ---- 

and yet it's everything to me.  

      

How do you get people to understand how big 

and how un-be-lieve-able-ly 

it changes everything in life?

     

How do you get people to understand how, 

if they just pay a little attention they will quickly see

that every moment in each of our lives is uniquely designed

in a most wonder-filled way?  

     

How do you write about that without sounding trite? 

       

I know it's possible.  I'm just facing a wall of fear right now.

       

Mostly about what people will think about my faith.  

       

My God is real, and he is present in every moment.

       

I have no doubt.

       

I have plenty of real life examples to prove it.

      

I have to share them with you,

       

because something in me won't let me not.

      

       

So, for example, before I knew I was coming to Colorado for the summer, I asked God if it would be possible for me to have a hiking trail right outside of my back door.

    

Next thing I know, I have a summer job that includes an employer-provided campsite, and wouldn't you know it, right outside of my back door is a beautiful hiking trail.

      

Coincidence you say?  

Well, maybe. 

When I was a younger believer, I responded the same way.

      

However, consider this.

My campsite -- the one that is provided by my employer -- is smack dab in the middle of a National Park.

      

Oh, and one more thing. That National Park also happens to be a WORLD Heritage Site.

     

AND, as if that wasn't enough, free laundry and wi-fi are included with the campsite.

Now, can you really call that coincidence?
