Journey to Charis

I have been on a journey back to "charis."

I want to be in a place where I am

healed,

thriving,

walking in grace.


It is a difficult road, but one worth taking.
A journey of the heart, mind, and body. 
Very personal, yet I know many have traveled a similar road before.
 

The Beginning:

A Journey to Charis

The Valley:

Plastic Smiles 
A Thank You:  Undeserved Gifts 
She Has a Sister

I Interrupt this Programming...
Lessons along the way:  Depression & Anxiety

One False Move 
Angel on my Doorstep
The Barren Truth
Saying No
The Shadows of Mordor

Scaling the Mountain:

The Missing Piece
Hailing Yellow Taxi Cabs
Three Little Birds 
Venting
Josh, Trust, & the Police
PTS... what?
 
  Lessons along the way:  Borrowed Faith
Lessons along the way:  I Can't Say No 
Lessons along the way: Courageous 
Lessons along the way: Kicked off the Carpool
Lessons along the way: Healthy Donuts a.k.a. Laughter 
Lessons along the way:  The Bad Words I Know
Lessons along the way: I See You, I Hear You
Lessons along the way: False Assumptions
Lessons along the way: White Flag 

Evidences of God's Grace:

The Spit Take
