I am making a new start. There has been much discussion about responsibility, completion, time to wait and see, reconnaissance and just getting on with life.
I no longer want to begin. I have begun.
Lean on your strengths
This quotation from Joan Erikson is one of my favorites.
"In order not to fail in the end, you have to be dependent on yourself and know that you can handle things. Most importantly, bring a little humor into despair. Lightness, imagination, flexibility-these are the things that go into making a new start."
Just as it is important to stand on your own two feet ... it is just as important to know when you should let go and lean. I would be lying if I said I am without fear. Bring on the avalanche!

About Me
- raven
- Preacher's Kid ... I'm not bitter! When I was nineteen I was living across the street from the church I was attending. I was watching the elderly congregation file in for the morning service. I was struck with the realisation that there were generations of people already here before Christ, doing the right thing by God. The sick feeling of being part of another generation of pharasies more concerned with outward holiness than heart and humanity awakened me. Mine is a prodigal story. Returning to faith, knowing I needed God ... does not mean wearing church culture. Before giving me your doctrine - read the gospels. As said by Mahatma Gandhi “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
