Good morning! Thank you for accepting me into the community; I am truly grateful, and look forward to learning about and with others. My journey began in a small Methodist church where I fell in love with my Sunday school lessons. During the same time I was introduced to new neighbors who were deeply involved in a small, non-denominational, Christ-centered church. I had so many questions and they seemed to have so many answers as well. By ninth grade I was on fire. Towards the end of high school, I was living right but disconnected from formal religious practice. After graduation, I wandered into the fire, so to speak. Looking back, I was becoming what I practiced. All of the positives had been put to the side as I walked the tightrope over the abyss of potential ruin. Then came across period of time where I became reaquainted with my roots. I began teaching Sunday school and it seemed that the fire had be reignited. Although, the fire was a bit different. It wasn't burning in a single direction, or for a singular system. I began to understand myself as a spiritual being having a human experience. Notwithstanding my new variety, I was able to reconcile what I understood as Christ Consciousness in many of my religious/spiritual experiences/studies. It seemed that I was drawn to the pursuit of getting to the roots of it all so I embraced these new and uncharted paths with open heart and mind.❤️

@Jackie Moloney I think that I have compartmentalized the various aspects of me (more so) in the past. Being more mindful has been helpful. I try to frame everything (at the onset) as I am doing this for God. However, when I reflect it is apparent to me that I am still living separate lives. Work is the most difficult for me to maintain. I am in it for the long haul though. Thank you for the question.
