A Heart Speaks: A Spiritual Journey

By Denise Fortin

A Heart Speaks is just thatthe feelings, emotions and faith of a young woman as she begins her spiritual journey with God. There may be sadness, darkness and anguish but the poems always end in the light of faith. The one gift God has given me is the ability to experience and know His healing and unwavering love. I pray that as you see Gods hand in the life of this young woman you may also see His loving presence in your own life.

Denise Fortin

My spiritual journey began at baptism; but my conscious spiritual journey began at the age of 16. I returned to church four years after making my confirmation. I had joined an organization called Rainbow Girls and the only two requirements I needed to meet were: 1. To believe in God. (No problem there.) 2. To attend my own church. I went back to my church (which was now in English) and hungered and thirsted for more. Many times in my journey, especially at the beginning, I felt very much alone. My parents were not thrilled that I was going to church so much and I became the “black sheep” of the family. I was a frightened, lonely, teenage girl whose only comfort came from God, and who longed to have a family that understood and supported me. I wrote poetry to express my feelings. On the following pages is some of the poetry written on my spiritual journey. I share them now with you.
