Seven and a half years is a good amount of time to write a blog.
I'm in a similar place, as you probably know. Ending one thing can lead to beginning another. I know that ending things can release other people to do new things, as well.
I totally get people being reluctant to share about their profound religious experiences. I've had some myself - some dreams where I'm sure God was speaking to me, and some events which I'm sure are miracles. But unless I'm prompted, I never talk about them. Sometimes God gives miracles as signs to be shared, but other times not. And here - as, I think, many other cases - most of the stories are inherently personal.
Also, I'll be praying for the next stage after your "end of the beginning." Thank you very much for starting your blog and writing group; it's been an immeasurable help to me.
Yeah, I totally agree. Should I get around to writing a follow-up post I intend to share one of my stories. It's entirely understandable and proper that people would be reluctant to tell those stories, particularly if people are going to mock them, or at lest scoff at them.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you've been helped by the writing group! It's been great. Far better than I expected.
