I’m still working on completing the Purgative Stage and entering into the Illuminative Stage, and now it’s becoming clearer to me the smaller steps I need to take to get there; but these small steps are actually big leaps of Faith for me, so please pray that I can have the grace to make those leaps. Thanks.
I have two stages that I float between when talking to God. 1) plopped on the floor like a baby and balling my eyes in a mixture of anger and hurt - hands raised and demanding to be carried. 2) a teenager, hands on hips, yelling and convinced I know whats best. I think God just looks at me and shakes His head. I will say I MIGHT be moving onto a third stage - the older person complaining about how fast time goes, why am I always tired and why does my whole body hurt
