This can be a lonely place to be I found during my 20s especially. But, over time I saw the beauty and truth of my position because I didn't have to live a lie like people I left behind in the church I grew up in.
So, by believing in truth rather than the meanderings of a church I was free to think my own thoughts about everything: "To be Master of my own Ship and Captain of my own destiny".
Some people who can ONLY be followers might not like this but because I was a natural entrepreneur like my father, my grandfather and my great-grandfather this worked for me in life.
So, now my life is amazing and has been amazing since I recovered from being asked to leave my childhood church.
When you leave your childhood church your first reaction might be to consider suicide because you have lost hundreds and possibly thousands of people you grew up with from around the world.
But, on the other hand you can then create your own destiny and your own personal relationship with God and nature and the whole universe.
In the beginning I was suicidal from 1969 to 1973 in varying degrees. But, by 1974 I was married with a son and this began my life in some ways because I could no longer allow selfish thoughts of suicide to interfere with raising my son to adulthood. I loved being a father and taking care of my son and then my other children as they came along during my life. I loved buying or starting businesses to support them too.
So, I was one of the ones who survived separating from their childhood church. Not everyone survives this but it is possible with enough help from parents and friends like I had.
Life is never easy but it is possible to survive it if you give it enough thought and heart to do it.
By God's Grace
