Encounters with God, with Jesus....
Stories of faith, lack of faith....

I pray to live risky and reckless and You know my heart better than me...know my tendencies, my bent......

How to live a life filled with faith....longing to 'give away' what I don't yet have??
So praying to in the moment remember all that I find here.
Praying to speak truths, to BE honest when everything in me says be careful, that's judgmental, that's my thoughts, that's ????.....??...
problem is I don't think I know what's true.... but can I BE honest???
praying to ask, to live risky and reckless when all I am is scared to death......so wrestling today with this.

Hey if you're college age or know someone wanting to GROW in their faith....awesome experience, check it out.....

I know I haven't really kept up with the readings. I've been sick and it has taken it out of me. I will read and blog my thoughts.

I want to live with more faith, too. Sometimes, I feel that faith tested, stretched... It doesn't always feel good, but in the end, I feel closer to God.
