 I don't know about this whole online journal thing, but maybe it will be good.  There is something about writing that is easier than talking...
I have been so tired lately- tired emotionally, spiritually, physically- just tired.  I am seem to be stuck in a "cloud of unknowing," unable to clearly define what this means except that I just plain do not know.  I do not know what I believe right now, or if I believe dare I say it?  Yet for all my doubts, for all my unknowing, skepticism, questions and cynicism, for all my wanting to let go, sometthing won't let me go. 
Reflections on the last few months: 
I think it became easier to stop searching for the "something more" I felt God was drawing me towards.  I no longer believe in the god of black and white,  but all the gray area is hard to live in.  Maybe this process that has me so broken and angry is one that will break me until I reach peace.  So I begin the search again, even though it feels lonley, because ultimately I want to be real.
