My Journal entry #9

This step is really good! I am not finished reading it, but I wanted to type these things out before I forget them. Sorry if it seems a bit cryptic. There are questions being asked and I wanted to answer them.
Patience, yeah that's not an easy one! It has taken about 4 years for this problem to develop into something that I realized only God could remove. There has been distance between me and God for roughly 6 years now. I believe it has taken that long because of my state of mind and He had to bring me to that place where I yearned for Him and wanted to be close to Him again.
Actually I've applied this same logic to this website. I found this website late last year. I signed up and waited eagerly to start participating. After a week of not hearing anything I inquired about my membership. Well, during this time New Years happened and I went to church where I met people, was touched by God and was invited to Bible study. I think this was God at work. Because of my social anxiety I much rather communicate with Christians online. But God knows that I need Christian interaction irl and He knew that if I had begun to communicate on this site I might not have gone to church that Sunday. Well, now I have Christian interaction online and off all thanks to God and His perfect timing
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I'm off to work now.
