Since reading, Write it Down, Make it Happen, by Henriette Anne Klauser, I have been determined to change my life. It just so happens that an insurmountable heap of obstacles have presented themselves to my life in a seemingly personal way. As a warrior, I have now decided to confront my life's demons, and embrace them as a necessary part of my journey.
Klauser has many astute points in her book, but the most poignant and obvious is how powerful writing truly is. So, in celebration of a new reality, my writing will serve as the newest addition to my fellowship with my Creator. I vow to make the next step of my life in total faith, and I vow to be a friend to anyone in need.
Keep in mind: this blog will be at times long winded, and at other times, still...but that is the balance of life. There will be testimonials, comedy, and a hodgepodge of life experiences layed across this backdrop. With that said, it takes a truly open mind to receive the information I will present in this blog.
I will be as open as is humanly possible to all of you and your testimonials. Don't be shy! I want to read your testimonials. It drives me spiritually. Don't be embarrassed, either - the truth is the truth, and it "truly" sets you free. So, write at free will... I promise I won't judge you (I can't say the same for anyone else)!
I must also add...I don't believe in a separatist God. I believe in God. In various languages, the term "God" is given many names. I want you to know that I FULLY respect the individual thinker, and the REALITY that some of us don't call "him" God, nor do some of us assign a gender to this divine spirit. If you join me in my journey, I ask that you respect every one's right to their own interpretation of "God," and understand that I am referring to God in the way I know how.
I also ask that you remain open to one fundamental truth in life: not a single one of us has chosen to be here. Not a single one of us has chosen (consciously) to be born to the parents, religion, race, creed, gender, or social status that we have learned as reality. With that realization must come the level of respect to understand that each of us has our own lives, and can only find our way out of our personal "hell" by dealing with that life. None of us can be expected to understand any other life but our own. Testimonials are a means of unifying us, through which we gain insight into the other individual, and embrace the commonalities we share.
I love you all equally, and I realize we may not all agree. I also realize many have far underestimated their position in their spiritual journey, and for that, are not capable of deciphering my words. They may perceive them as confusing, hypocritical, or contradictory. They may respond in negativity. I welcome all of it as part of the greater journey...having to go through the dark to see the light. I will work my hardest to see through such levels of negativity and to embrace each person fully.
Now, let me leave you with this promise: I will write from my heart. I will do my best. I will articulate myself with a simplicity designed to help us ALL understand life's many lessons, no matter what our background. And I will do this all through testimony, research, and most of all, Pure Faith.
Thank you for taking the time to share life with me, and I thank God in advance for helping others sort through the spiritual language barrier to see my intent (and not my words).
Peace and Peace.
