Kim, I started my quest almost two years ago and I am still confused .

I started my quest here and I have been dog paddling in the ocean ever since.

Matthew McMahon one of the owners of the board has put together some helpful articles here on A Puritan's mind. I am still working through them myself.

My advice is take it slow, you will not figure it out over night, and do not get discouraged and settle on a position before you have exhausted it. Yet, that does not mean I am advocating for uncertainty, what I am saying is stand strong and humbly on those things you hold to be true, but allow yourself room to challenged and even persuaded differently on some things if the evidence points in a different direction than your current position.

I live by this motto: if I find something I never knew before, I give it a month before I act in any life altering fashion upon my new found conviction, usually I find at the end of a month's time that I am glad I did not run off and act upon my first impulses; if this were only my motto when I first came to the ocean that is Covenant Theology I would have spared myself and others much grief at the onset.
