I See It…
People have always said that when you have found G-d, you have found your way.
I have always believed in G-d, but found it hard to believe that even when you are dead broke, when things are uncertain, when you in a job that you know is below your value…basically when you know that things are not at their final conclusion, how can just believing in G-d fix everything.
I mean I have seen it…people who serve G-d in various religions and how many pledge their everything to G-d, but they are not the richest people on earth…they still live lives that are not to the highest levels of the ‘Western World’…so how is G-d fulfilling them?
I am no richer than I was a month ago…I am no thinner…my husband still does have his problems….I am not pregnant…but I feel it. I woke up this morning feeling that warmth in my chest….feeling G-d.
While writing my posts on conversion, while reading my notes, while embracing Judaism; I felt whole and complete.
I see my future and how it is going to be. Well I don’t see it completely but I know that this is my right path.
May I ask why you spell his name G-d? I’m very curious. While my husband was in the hospital I had somebody else always praying for him and she too would spell his name G-d. I thought maybe it was a typo but I’m beginning to learn that isn’t the case.
Ps. I too feel him and my life/self is far from perfect.

Of course you can ask.
In the Jewish law it is wrong to say G-d’s name in vain. So in Hebrew G-d is given two names. One to use when you are praying and another to use when in regular speech.
And so in English there isn’t 2 names for G-d, so when I am speaking of him, and not in prayer I will hyphenate the name, so I am not speaking about him in Vain.
Hope that makes sense.
@ncumisa Thank you for this answer – another diarist left a message with the same spelling and I wondered. It is a very mindful tradition, and one that I hope I do not forget about any time soon. Peace to you.
@iamnur – Thank You. Peace to you too.
