Hitting the wall
This is the point in the school term where, due to the exhaustive amount of work that I have had to do over the past three months, I have hit the wall. Wow, I have absolutely no ambition to do any of the projects that I have to do. Now, of course we know that these will eventually get done but that enthusiasm for doing the work has absolutely disappeared. Ahh, all I realy want to do is hang out with friends, meet new people and have fun, not be sentenced to doing homework.

What a weekend!
So this weekend has definately been refreshing. Primarily in the spiritual end of things, not so much in the sleep department. But at the end of the day, it's the spiritual that really matters. God has been doing some awesome things, and has been giving me a lot if insight into the man that I am supposed to be. Exciting really. Like the title of this blog states, bold life/bold love, and I feel that God is starting to impart this reality onto my life. Why shouldn't I be bold? I've got the ultimate love with me at all times!
Thinking about love, I feel as if this divide between Carleigh and I is kind of like climbing a mountain. And, although I absolutely hate the climb up, I know that the summit is going to be spectacular and make the pain of climbing up this hill all worthwhile. Praise God for this epiphany (apparently "revelation" is a hot Christian word, so in an attempt to be original epiphany is the word of the day).

Stepping forth/The beginning
I never was one for journaling life, something about putting pen to paper that never really was a big thing for me. However, certain events in my life have put it on me to write and chronicle my journey as I encounter God and learn to live and love boldy.
So, what does this really mean for me? Well, I don't think that God is asking us to live life meekly and in the shadows. The term "closet Christian" comes to mind, and that is definately not what I want to be a part of. The honest truth is that boldness is something that I struggle with. I mean I am a fun person to be around with, but when it comes to being bold for God and not denying Him or my love for Him, I do a pretty crappy job.
I don't know what this journey is going to be like, but I know that my life is going to go under some major reconstruction, and I'm excited.
There's no doubt that God does have a need for me to be doing something and He is definately laying down the foundations of my faith to put me forward into the journey. For instance, last night I attended a conference at the Glad Tidings Church. Now the purpose of this was support a friend that was going through some difficult times. Now, I had no idea that God has the purose of ministering to me. In fact, preforming a healing! What an intense experience! Background: I have been having issues with my mouth, gums and saliva to be specific, and I have been rather downtrodden in this area. Needless to say, I was praying and believing that God would heal this problem. Low and behold the pastor that was leading the message for the evening, without knowing my prayers, had a word saying that "someone with a gum disease or mouth related problems is going to be healed tonight". Talk about having God strike you right away! The most awesome thing is that God has healed the problem! I'm so excited! If this is the beginning of this journey I am excited for what is to come!
