Mt. St. Helens

As I sat trying to figure out who I really am I turned into a mountain. I am not one who likes conflicts and would rather stuff my feelings than to possibly offend you with words from my emotions. I have been trying to deal with that a lot lately. It was after a trip to Mt. St Helens that I ended up framing a photograph I took of of the mountain letting of a little steam (ok some steam and ash - there has to be a little dirt in every story). This picture reminded me of how when over time a little bit of pressure continuously building up can blow the top right off and damage other things around it also. If given a chance to vent(let off steam) the mountain seems to grow and become more magnificent.Thus I metaphorically framed the solution to my life situation. Better to vent a little than to blow up and do damage to my self and those I love. So, I start my venting here with a warning to one and all. I may say somethings that may seem harsh and unloving but I am just expressing hurt and pressure that has been building up over the years. I still seek good and strive to be Christ like but I am human (with lots of human flaws). I ask ahead of time that you forgive my sometimes harshness in the way I speak, because it is not really an attack on you, it is a release by me. Enough for now, By Gods grace I will grow into a true child of God.
