I have been wanting to post a reflection for some time now but kept putting it off because I was not given the words to name and claim my experience. It was also because of some hesitancy on my part. You see I've largely been a passive person in life and this has often kept me from living from the depths of my heart.
And so a big part of what has happened to me (and is continuing to happen to me) during my time thus far at Wilderness Awareness School is that I am becoming a more assertive person and my fear of what other people might think is taking more and more of a back seat to honesty... with myself and with others. So in terms of the next post, I will be forthcoming in my reflections and really try to name my experience.
The other thing that it will likely do is confuse or fluster those folks who have a strong Christian worldview, which is more than okay with me at this point, as I have watered down my experience thus far by trying to pander my language to make it user-friendly to Christians. That being said, it is important to remember that I've not given up on the church, I've just walked away from it for a time (think John the Baptist). I've often wondered how many prophetic voices we aren't hearing because they aren't in the church. And maybe that is where I'll find my voice...
