Last October, I became overwhelmed with school work, new employment, new desires for my life, and a profound doubt in the existence of a God who could (and would) love me despite my flaws and insecurities that knocked me so off balance that I could hardly stand up straight and continue on. So I dropped a couple courses in life. I let my school work fall by the way side, losing motivation to continue on with my degree and I ceased all relations with God.

Since then, those pieces of my life that I left behind have been sitting there, waiting for me to work up the strength and the stability and the courage to return to pick them up and, slowly, I have begun to retrace my steps. It almost seems an improbable feat, returning to the place where I left off and just... continuing, only with a new state of mind and new opinions and beliefs. However, I believe it to be possible.
