I was looking for fullfillment and a purpose in this life.  I continue to study because even when it feels fruitless, I do not believe it will always be so.

How do our desires – along with the correction of those desires – and freedom interact?

[Nathan]

I believe freedom to be the conscious decision to draw nearer to the creator and come to accept his will as harmoniously as possible.

I will not say that I understand what he writes.  I can relate to the experience of the vast distance between Him and me.  When even the basic joys of life leave you wanting, how does one practically ask for help?

[Nathan]

Learning about the language of roots and branches.  It really helps to know the language you’re reading!  I hope to learn more!

[Nathan]

There is a huge gap between who I am and what we are aspiring to be.  The further along this journey, the more I have been shown how selfish I am.  I want to experience that unrequitted joy again and again.  I must want that for everyone; I am learning to want that.
