So why Soulsearcher for a handle?

Just a quick thought. No intentions to be philosophical or spiritual about it. Words with double meaning are fun. But sometimes quick thoughts and our kind of fun reveal something more about us. So after using this handle for almost a month, I took time to think how my unconscious might have suggested this nickname.

People at crossroads are basically soul searching. They examine themselves--who they really are, what they really want, where they really want to go, what must they do or stop doing. I am at crossroads (more on that in my succeeding blogs). But being too self-focused makes people miss the hundred other ways God can speak to us. God can speak to us through other people. People who in their brokeness can help us discover our own brokeness. It is in this discovery that we realize how dependent we are to God. Such dependency, which may be a sign of weakness, will be our source of strength. It is in our search for our soul that we become compassionate with other people.

When we search for souls, we can find our souls. Better yet, when we search our souls, we find other souls to help along the journey.

Did I say I had no intentions to be philosophical or spiritual about it? Hehe
