I think one of the hardest things about being a Christian in this day and age is being open and vocal about it. Because a lot of times, people just write you off as a right-wing kook. (and as a left-wing kook, that is really offensive!) So many people use God and religion as weapons against other people. It corrupts something that should be so beautiful and unifying.
My friend Ellen has a lovely and graceful way of expressing her faith. Today, she posted a wonderful confession about how God has worked in her life. I encourage you to read it.

Ellen expresses herself wonderfully, there's no doubt about it. One can certainly get to know her through her writing and her art. The post you referenced and her new calendar are prime examples.
Of course, Ellen's experience with depression is something I identify with. To have found some solace in her faith is a beautiful thing. And you're right - it takes some courage to wear that part of your heart on your sleeve these days.
What Ellen finds in faith resonates with me - to find love and a way to "get through."
