Growing in faith

I am a relatively bright, relatively highly educated woman. The questions that I ask most often in my work life are “why” and “why not?”  I believe one of the greatest strengths I have is thinking outside of the box and coming up with creative solutions to problems and issues. But faith is something I’ve mostly just taken as it was given to me. I’ve spent much of my life in church. But only in the past few years have I really started to question what I’ve always believed. At times that questioning has made my belief in some particular aspect of faith deeper. At times that questioning has completely turned upside down a belief I had always had. I hope that as I continue to grow in faith, that I continue to question. That I never become afraid of asking why or why not. That I never forget the mystery and the majesty of all that God is and that the growth I achieve through the questions I ask will bring me closer to Him and to his call.
