Trying to be like Sarah Connors. On your feets, soldier! Dark to light~ dark clouds bring waters, when the bright bring none.
ugh, im trying so hard. i know, there is only do- there is no try. i was able to get outside, work, get some sunshine. it helped. what do you all do to keep the faith? anything in particular you do to not devolve into fear/doubt/mistrust? i was raised in total fear- its basically ground in, and i realized today that i have no real foundation of practice. i have prayer and scriptures- anything else? id love suggestions, even if they seem obvious- it might not be obvious to me. i thought asking this question might also help others that are too shy to ask.

I have an mp3 player w/ collections of different people's music I've always liked (Michael Card, Leonard Cohen, Emmy Lou Harris, Bob Dylan, John Michael Talbot, Rich Mullins, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Keith Green, Petra, Celtic worship music, Gregorian chants, Handel's Messiah). I got a big speaker cheap & just play "shuffle" / sing along w/ the TV on "mute" most days.
