The Doubting of Faith

I used to be embarrassed to tell people that at one point in my life I doubted God existed. 

While I freely admit that speaking openly about what I believe now is vastly different than my keeping it to myself as I used to, I always felt that if I said I doubted the existence of God, people would think there was something wrong with me.

At the same time, I can look back on my journey and see that my time of doubting him was important to this journey of where I am today. Because I doubted my faith, I have a stronger belief in it now.
