I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

The prayer of the frustrated Christian
"Alas Lord
I am undone!
I try so hard to do your work
But ears are closed
and eyes are shut
and my pleas go unanswered
Why O Lord?
Why me?
I am miserable!
Aha! I must be doing your will!
To be so rejected and afflicted
My wounds are a symbol
A sign, that I am walking the path of Calvary!
A true servant"
"My child, my child
I came that you might have joy, and
that your joy might be complete!
Perhaps your wounds are self inflicted
My Spirit is like a fragrant wind
laden with passion and promise
scented with love
breathe deep

I am a frustrated Christian myself right now. I know I love God and that he loves me... it is just that most things in my life are not going well. At all. Thank you for posting this.
