Rebirth and Prophecy

Beginnings...Again
Just so no one thinks this--I have not decided that I'm reincarnated nor that I am now to be called the Prophetess. This is the third incarnation of my blog Shekinah or Shekinah Blessing on Wordpress. I started this blog back in April, on Posterous,  as a way to contemplate, discuss, and examine the spiritual journey I am on currently and, hopefully, in the future. When I moved to Wordpress, I did so with the idea that I would be able to have a more attractive blog. Then I stopped writing for a while, mostly because I needed to regroup and life took over. I decided to move here to Blogger because I have forgotten my password for my Wordpress account, and Wordpress only recognizes my information for a blog I ran a few years ago. Very frustrating, but not life ending. In a way, this rebirth is allowing me to really think about what I want to do with this blog.

The Future
The goal for this blog is pretty straightforward. I want to share my journey, my doubts and fears, my questions and musings about God, the Higher Power, Jesus, Mother God, Father God, and the Holy Spirit. I want to look at everyday living and things that really make me go, "Huh." I want to try and see glimpses of what the unfiltered God. I also want to share all of this with you, my friends, family, and anyone else out there who wants to go to the brink and gaze over the side with me, just to see what I see. 

Like I said when I started Shekinah back in April, I am not a minister, theologian, or anyone who holds any authority. I am a lay person with theological and philosophical questions. I read the Bible (not as much as I should), I walk in the real world (like all of us), and I read and listen to many different voices (God speaks in many voices and many ways to me). I also pray. A lot. I know that Paul was right when he said, "We see through a glass darkly..." but I also know that even in this state, we have a chance to see and be with the unfiltered God, and I hope that this blog, my journey will help me and you, valued reader, share those glimpse and rejoice.

Plan
Right now there is no exact plan and no precise schedule for this blog. I have some vague idea that I am going to try and post three times a week. This will allow me to do all the things I usually do plus plan and post for this blog.

My topics will cycle around spiritual things and ideas that are going on in my mind and heart. I will warn you I bump around a bit so there may be posts about scripture and then posts about philosophy. There will definitely be links to things I think are interesting as relates to God and man.

Just So Readers Are Warned
Because this is a blog about spiritual journey and questioning, there is no doubt that something I write or muse over will offend someone. Those of you close to me know that my beliefs (especially right now) are going in a lot of directions. I know that some readers will either not agree (perfectly ok by me), or just be offended. Once again, those of you who are close to me understand that I tend to be straightforward and as honest and open as possible. Discussion of and expression of disagreement is encouraged. Hostility and nastiness because you are upset is not.

People who are blazing for a fight, need to understand that if I review posts and they are inflammatory and not conducive to open and honest discussion, those posts will be eliminated from my blog. It's not that I am censoring, but this blog is intended as a place for safe and well-spoken thought, not for the latest and greatest flame war. There are other places people go for that kind of online sport. If I, or others offend you greatly, understand--there are many, many other blogs that may be a better fit for your and your spiritual beliefs.
