Hi Kim,

I know what you mean about that wanting to feel big. And you're right, one can't coerce emotions. I've tried it many times and I did have some success, but there was always something squishy about artificial emotions. I couldn't trust them, they just were not the real thing. I'm trying to let my faith guide me instead of my feelings. And if I leave the desire for feelings away, they come up again on their own provided I don't scare myself away or do something foolish like anxiously repressing them in fear of them not being good.

Much love, kimmi.

funny, thing, daniel... your most recent entry is so in line with my thinking. my conclusion, my decision, has always been to try to be more childlike. a child's faith is so pure, and his emotions are so authentic. children are often ruled by their emotions, however, so we definitely need to be culled by an adult understanding of wisdom and temperance. we need that balance, but i think that we should rely most on our faith, especially in situations and with circumstances that try to strain our emotions and confute our wisdom.

love to you and your family, hon!
