I don't consider myself to be a super-religious person, in fact I never enjoyed church growing up. I would stay in bed longer than usual in hopes Dad wouldn't wake me up and I could avoid sitting through a sermon that I didn't understand/didn't hold my attention.
Now that I'm older, I have my beliefs and I pray when I feel like it/need to. I try to go to church with my parents when I'm home on break from college. Sometimes I wish I was more religious...but I'm not. Too bad I can't just snap my hands and make it happen.
Every once in a while I flip through the radio channels and stop on the Christian station. The music is usually good, and the lyrics carry something deeper and much more wholesome than all the songs that seem to say: "you're hot, let's have sex."
On my drive up to Taos, New Mexico the other day, I stopped on the Christian channel. One song really stuck out to me, probably because I feel like the lyrics relate to exactly how I am feeling right now.
When you see the rushing wind
Feel the pouring rain
Hear the thunder now, as the clouds roll in
When you're blinded by the lightening
Do you also hear that still, small voice saying:
It's okay, you're not alone
You may be scared to death
But I won't let you go
You may think the sky above is falling
But can you hear Jesus calling?
33 Miles - "Jesus Calling"

Tomorrow I am moving into my summer housing...which is at a religious retreat center. I'll be without internet, unless I have access at my job - but I'm not counting on it.
It's okay though; I'm online way more than I should be anyway. I'd rather be out photographing and dancing. :)
I'll update when I can, but no promises.
Always,
Katie
