12: Wrestling with Myself, Part 2
Continuing yesterday's post, Day 11: Wrestling with Myself, Part 1 I emailed a few of my blogs posts to my doctor and he started reading some other posts on my blog. When we met, he brought up a post I wrote about demons. In this post, I detailed a dream I'd had years before during my health … Continue reading 12: Wrestling with Myself, Part 2
10: Communion, Part 2
Continuing yesterday's post, Day 9: Communion, Part 1. After my bizarre shaking episode at the wedding, it happened two more times in the following two weeks. Each time was less severe and I made sure to lay down as soon as I felt it coming over me. I was worried I had some sort of … Continue reading 10: Communion, Part 2
8: Wrestling with God After the Death of My Child
Six years ago today my first child died at only 18 months old. She was diagnosed with cancer and a month later she was gone. Her sickness, death, and the events which transpired immediately afterwards were incredibly traumatic for my husband and I. Our families were devastated. Our hearts were broken. And we were all … Continue reading 8: Wrestling with God After the Death of My Child
Day 7: Be Careful What You Pray For: the Cost of Awakening
Before continuing with my story, I'd like to pause a bit and share a few things. On day 2 or 3 of this blogs series, I started having second thoughts about everything I'm about to write in the coming weeks. Having already started, I knew I couldn't quit. But I still felt a little worried … Continue reading Day 7: Be Careful What You Pray For: the Cost of Awakening
Day 6: Beginnings of Awakening

One day sitting at the computer, I realized something felt off about me, as if I'd lost some very fundamental part of myself. I had been rather numb without even realizing it and could hardly put … Continue reading Day 6: Beginnings of Awakening
4: Discovering the Hebrew Roots of Christianity
I was 19, finally finished with high school, and feeling totally burned out on church - yet again, I had to experience another church split and this one was the absolute worst.

3: My Charismatic Years
(Continuing from yesterday's post, Day 2: When Grace Met Jesus ) I had been so sheltered at home and church all summer long, surrounded by light and love. And the first day back to school is when I first noticed my heightened sensitivity. It felt so dark. It was as if I couldn't breathe. By day … Continue reading 3: My Charismatic Years
2: When Grace Met Jesus
I was 15 years old, just finished my freshman year of high school, and I was quickly outgrowing my desires for worldy materialism. During Spring Break a couple months earlier, I somehow started connecting with God in a new way. My desire to truly know him became stronger. My mom and a couple other ladies … Continue reading 2: When Grace Met Jesus
1: The Experience which Changed Everything
Two years ago this week I experienced a spontaneous kundalini awakening. I figured I'd just come right out and say it. This experience is really the whole reason I'm writing this series. It changed everything for me and divides my life into before and after. After it happened, nothing looked the same. I saw the … Continue reading 1: The Experience which Changed Everything
