What I really believe

It is so hard to share with others what I mean when I say "I am not religious but I have a relationship with God" I want so much for those who don't know the creator to fully experience Him for themselves. This poem is such a beautiful picture of what that relationship is thought to be and what God really longs for.
Return to rest

I opted to be a servant.
Oh how I wanted to serve you.
I wanted to do it all.
To do it well.
I wanted to please you.
Faithfully.... not perfectly, I did. I tried.
I failed. I tried again. And again.
But you wanted a lover.
You want a lover.

Hey MAria! What a wonderful surprise. :) How are you guys?
You probably won't find out too much about Marc and I on my blog as that is more of a personal journal for me but you might find a few pictures. :) We're presently living between Alberta and New Brunswick...having not yet settled on a permanent homebase. We have four children (Michaela- 11, Isaiah & Elijah - 9, and Judah 7) Keep in contact, I'd love to hear from you!
