so i'm doing a detox today.
it's supposed to remove toxins/chemicals/waste/etc/ from your body. all the chemicals and toxins we store can cause fatigue, headaches, and a host of other more serious issues.
i wish we could detox our non-physical bodies. our hearts, our minds, our souls. well, i know that we can - with the blood of christ, but sometimes i wish it were more simple. i wish there was a step by step method that would reap results immediately. at the same time, i know that this isn't what i would really want - because mystery is good. stumbling and finding your own way is good.
but geeeeeeesh. sometimes i wish it were easier.

home.
went home this past weekend. so beautiful.
if you didn't know, i have the most amazing church. a church that started out in a school gym, to a tent, and now a gorgeous building.
the area is so small, unassuming. but wow! god never fails to show up, never fails to remind me of who i am. each and every time i visit, i am reminded.
anyways, they started what they call a "prayer furnace." it's three sessions every day of harp and bowl worship. it is absolutely beautiful. for the past two weeks, several people from my church have been in worship and prayer for about 40 hours a week.
it was wonderful to reconnect with friends and talk about how much time has flown by. to laugh, to talk, to cry a lot. it was good.
i'm just reminded again of how far i feel that i am straying lately. not exactly from the lord, well i should say not totally. but i'm straying from myself, from who i am. i'm getting short changed. i'm settling. it isn't good, and it was never intended.
it's spiritual, it's physical. i can sense it, i can feel it.
oh, let your fire fall.
we are in need of you.
our hearts are longing for your presence.

myers briggs test
So, I took this really long and thorough personality test from Myers Briggs. I'm an INFP!
INFPs are idealistic and loyal to their values and to the people important to them. They are curious and quick to see possibilities, and often are catalysts for implementing new ideas. They want to understand people and help them fulfill their potential. They are adaptable until one of their cherished values is threatened.
They value home, family, autonomy, health, and creativity.
INFPs represent approximately 4% of the U.S. population.
