You, to me, seem like a true seeker. You don't want crap. You want nothing less than what's real. I'm touched that God loves you so incredibly so that He gave you a deep drink even when you didn't think you needed it. Thank God for Casting Crowns. You, to me, seem like a true seeker.

Today, I got it back." I'm so glad. I want you to have abundant life! “What I do know is that ever since I decided Christianity sucked and gave up, the life has slowly been sucked out of me.

You are in a good place. Thank you for sharing where you have been and where you are going. p.s. I've seen the pre-release stuff at Family Christian about the Casting Crowns CD and wondered, "What's the big deal?" I get it. You've sold me. They should cut you a check! ;o) Amazing how music has a way of speaking to the deepest parts of you. You are in a good place. Thank you for sharing where you have been and where you are going.

For the light-glory of Jesus is risen on you! You're a brilliant reflector - He loves your light back. Is it really all as simple and as complex as John 1:1-14? Is it really as plain as this, but more mysterious than the mind can comprehend? "But whoever did want him, who believed he was who he claimed and would do what he said, He made to be their true selves, their child-of-God selves..." John in The Message Arise, sweet Amanda. Shine!

I had a long-assed post here and accidentally wiped it out because I was still linked with vox. Anyway, in short, I am glad you are feeling enlivened again. My concern has been in watching you veer to the left and right on this, and I'm really hoping for you to find peace in your seeking. I pray this is it. :) Oh, my goodness.

Sorry, that was my smart aleck remark. Its quite true, all religions provide something that unavailable to you when you leave it. A sense of community. This sense of community can pervade many facets of your life. from the activities to choose to partake in, to the object of materialism you choose to purchase to your views and feelings that are shared by many in your community. There is certainly a feeling of security. you can go to any country and find your church and instantly have a liferaft that would otherwise be unavailable to you. Have I described it to some degree? Well, I'm glad you found some of your way. I of course wish you could have found yourself in yourself, rather than in god. But as long as you are happy... hehe, I told you that you were a Christian!
