Easter - it came, it went
Well Easter is over, and with it any sense of sanity I might have gained over the past few years. As I stated in my blog earlier, this lent was suppose to end with me getting baptized. This year was suppose to be different. It was suppose to mark the beginning of something, but instead, it turned out to be another year of frustration.
Now mind you, I did not think it would be easy to come to terms with this thing called "christianity" but I, at the least, thought it would somehow make a little sense. But after six months of studying, and years of discussions, I am no closer to an understanding than when I began. Mind you I do believe I have entered into a relationship with Jesus, if that makes any sense. But I do not know how that transends into baptism and the joining of a church. The more I study the church, the more Paul emerges. And quite frankly I do not know Paul.
So where does this leave me? Well I did not get baptized. Nor do I know if I even want to go back to church. Even though, it is something I truly enjoy. However, how can i sit in church with all these questions. It makes me feel like a fraud. I have never called myself a christian, so why do I attend a christian church? This does not make any sense to me. In fact this entire process has taught me one thing. I dont make any sense.
Now I have always known that I am a little crazy. Have I not always said, "it would be insane, to be sane, in an insane world." And G-d knows the world is insane. But trying to understand "christians" is something that I am afraid, might take me off the deep end.
So with all that banter......Easter is over, and I will try to take a break from all these crazy questions, and get back to the business of being me. Sorry for all my meaningless drivle.

Hey Ian,
It's LeeAnn here. Thank you for the birthday package. It was good to hear from you and know that you are doing well. I have to admit I prayed that you would accept Christ as God and you have! I think that is wonderous! A little aside don't worry about being a hypocrite. Christian are hypocrites every day (myself included) The only person who was not a hypocrite was Christ. GO back to church for it will not allow you to fall off the deep end it will help you answer what you over analyse. It's okay to give your life to Christ, to let go. Anyways enough preaching.
I am well and happy. I have had major changes in my life in the past two years. I finished my degree in education, I came to love university and was sad to leave it. I do not like teaching and I am at a complete loss career wise. I am burnt out from high needs, inner city type work.
On a positive note I met and fell in love with a wonderful man, Brian and we were married this past September. Than miracles of all miracles I became pregnant in early January. I am now 4 months pregnant and excited to be a mom! Lots of wonderful changes and prayers answered.
I know this is lots of information to digest. In all honesty I want you to know that I am well.
I read your blog about me and was really taken back. In answer to your blog I know the Lord will grant you the graces to love another woman if you let him. I have only prayed for the best for you in these past two years and getting to know the Lord is the absolute best that could happen to you.
I will pray that you find a companion to share lifes journeys with. To answer the question in your letter.If we are meant to cross paths again it will be through Gods will not yours or mine.
At that I will close you can reach me at leeanngervais@yahoo.ca.
- Lee
