*My apologies if this post is random and disorganized. Please trust me, I'm doing the best I can do.*
In the midst of cycling through a bipolar episode, I have discovered that Judaism soothes me like nothing else in the world. I do aim for the most intellectual Jewish activity I can absorb and process. Prayer--ritual if it is time for that and I haven't done it yet (I always do it as soon as possible in case I can't later), letters to God at other times--tops the list. If I can't deal with outputting prayer, next on the list is reading my Bible or Psalms.
There are times, however, when even the ancient religious texts that have brought comfort to so many are unbearable. Those are the times when I turn to the simplest mantra I could think up--"God will fix it"--repeated over and over. It is true, because God is the Great Healer. Whether in a way of which I approve and/or that I can understand, or in a different way, God will fix this situation.
"I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah. And even though [s/]he be delayed, with all this, I will wait for him[/her], every day, that [s/]he will come."
Welcome!
"Don't tell God how big your storm is; tell your storm how big your God is."
I believe in God.
I believe in God.

About Me
- free_to_dream
- I am a bipolar, Jewish young adult (had my Hebrew birthday, the one I count, and turned 23 this past January) who also suffers from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. I love life and I live for my best friends: they are my purpose and my reason for trying so hard. I remain passionately devoted to those I love; I will not let my disorders make me totally self-centered. I like to read, write, and sew. My Rabbinical school plans did not work out, and I am now hoping to go into the field of Early Childhood Education. Please note: I am currently maintaining only Carried in His Hands. Enjoy!
