Your faith despite the odds has given me strength on more than one occasion. It's truly a gift from God that we are all able to help each other like this.

I'm the one who's humbled. I feel like all I've done is whine and moan the past few months when I should have been saying thank you, hosanna and alleluia for all the blessings I've received. But I am, if nothing else, exceedingly human and open...perhaps to a fault. But I feel the way I feel and the blog is the one place I get to say everything that I would otherwise keep to myself. That being said, if I have exhibited any degree of discipleship it is due in no small part to the support and encouragement of those like you, Gabrielle. Your posts are like drinks from the fountain of faith. I read and I am refreshed. Thank you. Humbled? I’m the one who’s humbled.

Yes, we are, but I think for many of us the "marginalization" is really due to the false-self that has been building up layer by layer since childhood, out of self-defence or for all the many reasons that cause us to grow up feeling that we have to protect ourselves. The layers get peeled away little by little with the practice of detachment and contemplative prayer. You’re welcome, Lucy.
