      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      Letters to God - Gabriel Reed

      Letters to God...

      The words of my mind

      The prayer of my tongue,

      My wondering question

      To the father, spirit and son.

      Dare to ask,

      Or even dare to dream,

      Moaning in ecstasy

      My silent scream.

      Open these pages,

      Dare you not to read,

      You’ve been fully warned,

      Amen or whatever

      So Mote it Be.

      Where do you find God?

      This isn’t a tale of woe. This isn’t a way for you to boo-hoo or pity over me. These are the experiences and thoughts that led me to God. His direction for me is like that of many: show people his way.

      You may find your relationship with God in nature. Maybe in the pages in a book. Perhaps on the pews of your home church. Maybe even in darker such places, hospital beds, the trap houses...God shows his love to all, doesn’t matter where or when you are at life...

      So I guess to know the struggle of God, like that of many, you have to share your testimony...you have to share your struggle and what God himself showed to you.

      ––––––––

      This is mine...

      His way is Love. His way is Freedom. His way is learning to be a better person. What does that mean? It means we aren’t born naturally perfect or the best of the bunch. His way is about growth. Discipline. Striving. Working HARD to just man up and get better!

      Where do I start? Truly I believe that everyone has some kind of hidden talent or skill that God gifted us with...yes, I believe it’s talent, yet don’t ever forget that through hard work, discipline, and ambition, your talent will evolve to the high degree that God expected you at when he gave you that gift to begin with!

      Schizoaffective. Bipolar type (or just Bipolar 1 to be specific). What does that mean? Well it means first of course that my reality and yours.... well, they DO NOT match. It means there’s a blend of schizophrenia and bipolar. There are the symptoms of psychosis: delusions, hallucinations, mood troubles etc. along with the symptoms of bipolar. High fucking energy. Restless mind. Chasing the dream alongside chasing the rush itself.

      This came early in life, around age 19. I started hearing voices. Voices in my head.
