Oftentimes we don’t know why we
choose a particular path—certainly it’s that way for me. I sometimes have to go
with my gut, and that’s what I did when I chose to be part of Disciple study again.
I’m reading about the kings of Judah and their evil and good and God’s turning
against them and to them again, and the message is that we should avoid outside
influences and focus on the Temple, on our temple, our traditions, our
heritage, and walk with the Lord. I go this way and that in my way of thinking,
from believing that being with nature and doing yoga and writing from the heart
are a way that is just as good as being in church and fellowship with
Christians. Is it a selfish seeking to look for other ways to find that God connection? Perhaps, when you look at it from the viewpoint
of the chronicler in Chronicles. I am a child of the church, of the United
Methodist Church—should I not make that my focus? The Artist’s Way and synchronicity
and my God connection have been my way to creativity and salvation, have helped
me on my journey. Is it time to turn back? No, it's time to embrace it because it's all part of my journey, part of what I personally need to grow.
