Happy St. Patrick's Day
Going to try for a proper post tomorrow...
About Me
- Rachi
- I am unashamed to call myself a Christian; I love the Lord and wish to serve Him and His church. I belong to a wonderful Orthodox church called "The Good Shepherd". I'm a recent Science graduate from Monash University, I did my Honours in Genetics last year. Currently I am working as a lab technician for a compounding pharmacy. I could be considered to be a bit "goth". I suffer from long term depression, and my writing reflects this. It's my hope that this blog will allow me to share my faith with others, and provide support and empathy to those suffering from depression, despair and anxiety. All people are welcome and encouraged to leave comments on my blog, or to contact me.

AMEN.
