Mission Statement

Happy New Year readers.

On the end of the month of September, I was blessed with the opportunity to start over. I was given the opportunity to put old habits to death, and replace them with following the Almighty. I was baptized. In the words of my assembly, I was immersed. And among all walks of people, it could be considered that I was saved, or born again.

I have taken this opportunity whole heartedly. Before this change, religion, or spirituality has never taken the spotlight in my life. This could be a result of religion not being very important in my household. My mother was raised in Catholic school as a child, and now as an adult has effectively exercised her “grow-up” power of making decisions. And she has decided to abandon the culture forced upon her as a child.

My father. To this day, I can count how many times I have been to church on my hands and one foot. When my father exercised his influence over the family; he had us go to church. His intentions were not for guiding us towards the path of the Almighty, but to promote an image of a healthy family to enhance the image of his business at the time.

Growing up, religion was secondary, and even tertiary.

Going through college, or my crash course in life, I grew to understand that I needed something in my life. I knew that I needed a foundation. I know that all that I have been through (which I will get into later) were soft, yet often strong nudges from the Almighty. He was guiding me towards him.

I am now here, in the now. Like I’ve said before, I’ve been recently baptized by a small assembly headed by my ex-boyfriend’s (at the time) mother. The path that this assembly walks is very different from what I have learned Christianity to be over the years.

We observe the Sabbath on Saturday along with the lighting of a Minorah, and the women in the assembly wear a head covering at all times, along with modest dress. These are obvious differences that I have observed in the past few months.

Again, I am only a child in the faith. Till now, I have been spoon fed interpretations of the Bible and have followed them, blindly trusting my older brother and sisters in the faith. For four months, I was fine. And in the words of my minister, I am growing well.

But, I have hit a brick wall. A brick wall of questions cemented together with doubt.

So now….finally. My mission statement.

Why are these words here?

These words are here because, I want to be spoon fed anymore. I want to be proud of my faith in the Almighty. I want to be strong, and truly know why I am taking certain steps on my path towards the Almighty.

I don’t have a well formulated thesis statement as to why I am doing what I am doing. This is because, it is likely to change over time, as I grow in knowledge.

In summary…

I want to truly know the Almighty, and do all with in my power to please him, and carry out his will. And to do this, I will seek nothing but truth.

I am open and humble to any questions, concerns, comments, support, love, or anything you would like to share. I would love to hear from you.

Let the journey of truth commence!
