There is a gap for me between theory and practice. In theory everything's peachy; why the practice is so damn hard is confusing and frustrating.

However I still hope, even though it is a hazy hope.

If I am honest with myself, I have a hard time believing the spirit is all-sufficient to answer my prayers. It just hasn't been my experience in life. Often, for me, the experience of the spirit has been most evident, not in spring, but in the cold dark of winter.

Thanks, Lisa. Spring comes far too early and leaves far too quickly down here in the South... but it is always welcome! I need the reminder that the Spirit is the answer to my prayers... before I've even prayed them... and that after I've made a decision based on the Spirit's leading, that I continue to trust the Spirit to lead and guide. (I tend to jump right into an anxious Summer and then take all Autumn to recenter.)
