At some point in the process, I ended up at a Bible study sponsored by Evangelicals Concerned, and I recall the home where we met as being very dark. Yet a few months later, in the same home, after I had begun the process of heading towards full authenticity, I discovered that all the walls in that home were white, and there was plenty of light there. I was the one caught in the dark. <BR/><BR/>Easter blessings!KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701224049914946896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538801849812784311.post-39289166318327679542008-03-22T09:07:00.000-07:002008-03-22T09:07:00.000-07:00Your blog looks lovely, Cecilia.

Whatever, Cecelia, it is a lighter spirit now that will follow and guide you.
