stephaniebird, a new little gnome has found a home! he sits in our kitchen window, and i have named him raphe. we received the sweetest package from them this weekend, and i cannot wait til noah can wear this most amazing sweater... i wish it came in my size!
yesterday was my turn to share my spiritual autobiography with the group we are meeting with. its been a strange go, at least for me, to sit down and type out my spiritual journey so far. growing up in a church i do not relate to at all and then finding my own way is a messy, messy thing. i believe its messy for everyone, though, if you really start digging. i used to feel like ive wasted a lot of time, but im starting to see that none of it was really wasted. i definitely still have issues with the church i grew up in, as much as id hate to admit it. i still have a fear of God that, no matter how far i think ive come away from that, will still creep up every now and again.
