My previous statement (2011) • “This season of my holy discontent is still young. I hope that there are others who feel that they can join me or already are in the midst of this journey themselves. This is a quest to find who you really are at your core, the person God created you to be. What I’m saying is that God wants us to grow in our relationship with Him. This is the bearing of fruit as the bible calls it. The fruit that is pleasing to the Lord. This is the part where it really gets interesting. “
