Hi, I figure I'd better introduce myself first. My name is Danielle Salcedo, from San Antonio, Texas. I just started the MDiv here at Asbury. This poem is my attempt at capturing all of the feeling of transition to get to seminary.
"The Essence of Faith"
I’ve jumped from a cliff
Of a height unknown
Left everything I once knew as home
I’m wandering lost
Praying to be known by God
Struggling to find a place all my own
I twist as I fall
Suddenly the sky is not up
The ground is not down
I stand here alone
In the midst of a crowd
This journey I’m on
I don’t know where it ends
But I’m trying so hard
To follow God’s lead
To trust in his plan
And walk on behind.
And I know that this is
The essence of faith.

Nice. I like this Danielle. Thanks for the intro - giving it context allows me to connect with it more, having gone through it last year. Yeah, it's definately a 'transition in faith' (dual meaning for the phrase here)
