I heart Orthodoxy I believe.

This is a quiet journey still in uncertain stages.
Very tender yet, very hesitant very uncertain. I do not go blindly into new theological concepts but with much trepidation but faith in the Lord to take my hand where I find thorny and knotty problems and the remembrance that if the witness of the Spirit in me does not approve I have simply to turn it aside and turn to what is True.
Wondrous in it's discoveries.
What it will further give birth to in my spiritual walk and labors
I don't know
but I can't wait to find out.
Here is a wonderful quote by St. Dimitri of Rostov
"Open, O doors and bolts of my heart, that Christ the King of Glory may enter! Enter, O my Light, and enlighten my darkness; enter, O my Life, and resurrect my deadness; enter, O my Physician, and heal my wounds; enter, O Divine Fire, and burn up the thorns of my sins; ignite my inward parts and my heart with the flame of Thy love; enter, O my King, and destroy in me the kingdom of sin; sit on the throne of my heart and reign in me alone, O Thou, my King and Lord."

TO the giddy obnoxious convert -snerk giggle-, you know who you are. I love you so much thank you for introducing me to this strange and wonderful tender trepidacious leg of my journey called Eastern Orthodoxy. I love it.

Christos Anesti everyone. There is hope indeed.
And I'm still alive because of it.
You know I literally mean it.
