First and foremost, you are not crazy.
This path is not a walk in the park. Expect to have waves of faith and doubt However, it gets easier over time as your trust in God grows. When all is said and done, you’ll be singing praises to God, figuratively and literally.
Hymn book
You shall end on a high note.-
This is a God-led process. Only He knows the way, we simply follow. When you struggle and try to impose your will, the journey becomes difficult. Do not be afraid - God is with you at all times.
-
This is a sole journey home. This is not a group activity. This is between you and God.
Don’t get frustrated if God is not always communicating with you, especially in the beginning. You will have longer periods of drought at the start.
-
During these times, you feel He has left you - He has not for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). Over time, the communication will increase.
One time I complained to God why this journey was taking so long. He then told me that my waiting time is nothing compared to His for He has been wanting to hold each and everyone one of us, with bated breath, from the time we were conceived but He has to do what is best for us even if it kills him to have to wait. Why will it kill Him? Because with bated breath means to hold one’s breath as you wait for something to occur.

Trying to figure out where you are in the path can drive you crazy, as God told me once:
You are in the loop.These stations are linked together with overlapping segments. Whatever God started in one station continuous on to the next.
I made the mistake of always asking: “What does God want me to do for others/the world?” Finally, Mother Mary explained to me: “This is not a divine assignment.” This path is a process of transformation to perfection and restoring your relationship with God to what it should be.
