Prayer

I don't want to forget this moment, this feeling. My dear friend Lauren just prayed over me for my trip to Africa and it reminded me what it felt like to be absolutely consumed by the Holy Spirit.

It has given me strength and courage.

I don't ever want to forget what it feels like. Prayer, it's a powerful, underestimated force in our society. I often times forget the enormous poignancy it has and the emotion it creates. Whether you believe in a higher being or not, I cant stress enough the importance of prayer. The hope it instates, the peace it creates, and the community it forges--it is the works of God.

I was hoping to delay outwardly faith based topics, only because I have an issue with religious loudness and the sincerity it abuses. But I'm at a turning point in my faith where I feel the responsibility to communicate my beliefs and open it up for discussion.

So here's to beginning conversation topics on faith, God, a variety of religions and Jesus.

Cheers.
