Disclaimer:

So there's one thing about writing a blog like this that has to be verbalized.  More times than not, the situations that you struggle in the most, and the people who have the ability to hurt you the most are your friends -- people you share life with.  They are the people who are close enough to you to have an impact.  So I pray that all of you who are a part of my life and those of you who may read this have the ability to understand that this is my perspective, my walk, my journey, and my story.  It's hopefully a story of growth and spirituality but there may be bumps and bruises along the way.  I don't intend to hurt anyone but only to share my experience and spiritual walk.
