So, I listen to this podcast, Human Seeking Human. Its usually pretty fun to listen to, old personal ads being read in today's time, just a funny thing. Another "segment" that host Alex does is Honest Ads - ads sent in by listeners about what they are going through in life, what they are seeking, ect. This specific ad is from episode 10. It hit me right in the feels. You might need to hear it to really get the punch, if so, you can listen on multiple platforms, or you can click right here for you convenience. If you want to find it on your own, it is episode 10 and the segment begins around 11:28. I've transcribed to the best of my ability below though.
Human seeking God
Irreverently delightful woman in her mid-30's seeks God.
Wonders if she's having a life crisis of a sorts or if Jesus really did catch up with her blasphemous, kindness and wonderous highly functional depression in order to make her start asking the real questions in life.
Oscillating between believing and soul level rage between about how God can be both loving and also deeply unfair is a trademark in her daily life.
While praying, the very confronting whys of her life seem to cut in, unannounced, to demand answers about the current state of the world, her life, of her heart.
Seeking God who will meet her where she is, meet her at the terrible Jesus jokes she makes.
The wonder of a God when she looks up at the night sky and asks herself if there isn't a creator, where did all this come from?
Seeking a God who meets her on her mountain of anxiety, her questioning about why she was paired with a life partner that she can never truly be with. at the intersection between faith and salty moodiness.
God, I am seeking you. Are you listening?
Are you working all things for good even though they seem horrible?
Did you set me down this path alone to test me? And will you be there to help along the way.
You know where to reach me.
