I'm not sure to be honest, I don't think I can put it into words either because the change is how I feel so it is like an experience not like I changed this, this and this about myself etc. It's like when I went to church I felt a different energy of sorts so it's more positive, more optimistic, obviously I'm nowhere near perfect, it's not like I went to church for weeks and completely changed but I'm still trying to "get there". I feel like if someone start praying and going back to church etc the change will be automatic, it's gradual but I know it's happening because if I met the previous me like say a few months before I wouldn't like him at all not because of anything else but mainly because the path of the previous me was going to take me to some bad places but the path am on now will take me to good places. Small changes but big results. I felt like I found hope, or meaning or a belief that God has the ability to forgive and forget so even if I've went down a particular road it's still okay to just go back. I don't talk about this irl because of negative and overly positive response(so it's good that I got to talk about it with you thnx), I'm going about this "journey" alone in my own pace but I feel like I have someone close to me with only MY best interests at heart so it's reassuring, positive, etc. It's kind of embarrassing because even though I feel the change I still know very very very little about my own faith so I'm also trying to learn so I guess the change also made me somewhat curious to actually know and learn about many things.

Is it this?:
Did god put it there?
I don't think it's that one because ours look a lot different. I don't know if God put it there but I know God intended it to somehow end up there, somehow be found and somehow end up at our church. I don't think that's coincidence.
