FCS Weekly Journal – Week Four: September 19-25, 2004
One of the biggest things from this week was the completion of my
personal labyrinth in my back yard. It took longer than I expected it
to take. But I am learning that I am lousy judge of how long a project
takes. Now can I really use it for the growth and stimulation of my
spiritual quest to grow closer to God. I did experience one of those
creativity releases in the labyrinth. I was supposed to write
something for our monthly newsletter, but had no ideas. So took my
notepad into the labyrinth and came out with the next 4 months planned
out.
I was able to do better with the almost daily journaling to help me
reflect and remember. But it is still a struggle to keep up with it. I
experienced a small breakthrough this week at Sacred Space. The
passage was about Herod being perplexed by Jesus. As I was reading it,
I was unsure what to do with it. Then when I followed the “Need
Inspiration” link it had me thinking about my own times of being
perplexed with my image of Jesus and other’s images of who God is. The
question on the page, “What are you saying to me, Lord?” finally leapt
off the page and began to open up a new way of approaching the
scripture for myself.
