En Route To Finding Myself

Physically I am where I have been for the past years. Nothing new, no spectacular change of scenery or anything of the sort.  It's just that the boring summer vacation led me to venture into an area that most of us fail to visit ... our inner self.  In an attempt to thwart the inner voice within each of us and mislead it into believing that the life we live is as perfect as we would like to believe, deep within, we feel a certain emptiness and we know not where or how we could fill it.


I took summer classes so I would one day earn a degree in Master in Educational Management, but somehow, some things just comes and your outlook in life changes.  I have spent most of the hot summer days inside the house listening to Christian preachings and watching Christian videos --- the kind that feeds the spiritual hunger I have been waiting for so long to be satiated.  It's really true that when God gifts his wisdom to a chosen few, the speaker merely becomes a messenger .... the medium through which God speaks. 

I am not speaking about religious organizations because in the end, religion isn't what salvation is all about. It's all about keeping the faith whatever the circumstance. Congregationalism is, in fact, an enemy of the CHURCH because it makes one group superior and others inferior.  When we look at our relationship with God in strict and fanatical congregationalism, we fail to focus on the real reason for our existence --- GOD. We must remember that while religious organizations sprout like mushrooms, THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.

In a way I have been walking around in circles en route to trying to find reason for my being.  I know who I am by name, but I still have to learn about who I am where my spirituality is concerned...
