Truth

I have been wondering a lot about God lately. Not his existence, but more what a relationship with him entails. My last semester at SNU (whoo!), I took a class called Spiritual Devotional Classics. We read famous spiritual classics regarding "the dark night of the soul" and "interial castle(s)". I learned so much from that class about what a believer really is that for the first time ever, I feel like I am in a wonderful place. The problem I am running into, however, is the adjustment that I apparently need to make between my new world and the habits of the old. It might seem like something very simple and a situation easily solved, but it's not. It's very hard to figure out how much of what I believe is constricted by what I have grown up to understand as christian fundamentals and how to mold that with what I really feel to be true. All I know is - Gods love transcends any human understanding. All he asks is that I love him and others more than myself. I think I can do that. All I need to figure out now is what the loving him entails - love is more than words right? It's actions...so I guess when I figure out what the plan is, I'll let you all know.
