This is a shared journey, certainly...and blogging, as public as it is, is also quite isolating...so your words are meaningful as a connection to someone else compelled to walk in relationship with God. May you find rest in His presence...which is here and now, unconditional, unrelenting compassion.

You then finding yourself vulnerable to the very human tendencies of wanting to be accepted, wanting to impress... This must be the challenge of anyone seeking the contemplative Christian walk in the company of others ...? I'm asking.... I enjoy your writing and sense your profound desire to walk with the Lord. Please continue to share. This has become my desire more recently... a contemplative Christian walk. I find it a fulltime spritual calling. I also find when I acknowledge this need to seek Christ's fellowship alone, I am a better husband, father, son, neighbor, employee ... any fellowship other than Christ's and it feels like it is being done under my own power, and therefore falling short of God's best.
