"...we expectantly wait for a satisfying relationship with the Spirit...faith expressed in love." The Message Wow! This speaks to my heart right at this moment. For this is truly my desire. Not to be religious but to be in love and to pour out love. Holy Spirit, let us sit down together.

I hope to share Christ in the way I know best; through honest sharing, poetry, songs, and photography. And I look forward to connecting with others on this journey.

I learned so much this weekend I can't head to bed until I add one more quick post. A wise woman told me maybe the decisions I want to make will become clearer as I begin loving who I am. And you know what? I've already started! I'm full of good things and it amazes …

Dread, Defeat, Despair, and Disappearing
Dread, defeat, despair, and disappearing - this sums up my feelings lately. One day I'm doing well the next I'm in the dumps. If the medication was working I shouldn't have such ups and downs. I put off my counseling homework and I really am just doing all the same stuff expecting different results. They …
