Becky, thanks for asking one of the most difficult questions! :) And thanks for your constant love and support. It's hard laying it all out there like this, and so good to know someone like you is waiting to receive it.

Lance, you're a great role model of "honest and open writing," so it means a lot to hear you say it about me. I also really like how simply you put this truth: "It’s a belief in what is good and right in the world. And of a God who loves us immensely." Thanks for adding your perspective to mine.

Daisy, thanks for recognizing the courage it took. Posts like this one make me feel all squirmy! I'm not sure why it's so hard for me to put it all out there when it comes to my faith and beliefs, but it is.
