We all have times when we wonder if there is anything to this God stuff.  Sometimes it is a moment, sometimes it lasts years.  I have had both times in my life.  The times when it lasted the longest are when I have let myself get fixed on my idea of how God is supposed to be.  God had stepped outside my definition or expectation of God.  At the core is a letting go of the obvious expressions of a power greater than me being present.  I creep into those spaces when I take the obvious things for granted.  Having a body that functions well, air to breathe, food to eat, feelings to feel even if they are crappy. All the obvious things that let me know I am alive and someone or something gave me that life. It is the willingness to go back to the obvious demonstrations that seem too simple yet bring me back into the space of the God stuff.  When I am willing to do be in gratitude, it is the portal which helps me hold on in the spaces of disbelief.  I don’t think God expects us to be a machine that never fluctuates, but hopes  we ride the wave all the way to the shore and find our grounding again as all waves obviously do.
