keylljyn-clos: woods of rest

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately..I did not wish to live what was not life..nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life..reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean..to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world, or if it were sublime, to..be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.~Thoreau

READ ME FIRST!!!

Well, I really don't need to write out anything. I figure that there are people I just gave this address to that need some explaination for when they first come on.

First off...congratulations! you are one of the first people to read this site!! I think. at least no one has left comments except spammers.
Secondly...this might be a little confusing, but don't start reading this blog by reading the post directly under this. it would make no sense whatsoever. start at the bottom and work your way up.
Thirdly...This blog has been pretty much a second journal for me through the past eight months, which would explain some gaps in the logic (an entry from my actual journal would make more sense sometimes in between entries). But it explains a lot about my journey with God from April till now, and involves a lot about how I got to England.

I want you guys to be able to read it, because a lot of the time what I'm really feeling comes out easier on paper/post than it does in person. So some of the posts that are from after I arrived might be a bit surprising, because I didn't let many people know what I was feeling (something I hope to change if this community thing is going to work at all). Hopefully I can continue to post things that are real and really on my heart without worrying that so-and-so will read it. I want to be real with you guys. so please have patience with me if I stutter and stumble with my out-loud words, but keep asking me how my heart is doing. I write on here because I don't know how to approach people and say what's going on. Not quite used to it yet. But I want to get better at it, cause I love you guys and want to grow closer to you all. Don't be afraid to ask me questions about certain posts (I'll check to see if anyone has posted on the previous ones, or you could ask me in person!) And if no one reads this, God does and knows my heart. May He help me open up with my voice and not my fingers.
