The Ongoing Journey

February 24, 2022 by Andrew Leave a Comment

On a bridge in Honduras, discovering my journey

I have been having an ongoing conservation with Rob Kaiser from the All Around Growth Podcast on the subject of spirituality. The conservation reminded me of some poetry and some thoughts I had on this topic. I wrote these thoughts years ago, but they seem relevant today.

A Quiet Despair 

My heart is numb to this pain I feel

I do not understand why I feel no remorse

My soul is callous to the sin I bear

This evil clings to my heart in a quiet despair

I do not realize what has become of me

Like everyone else, I feel lost and confused

I cry to God, wondering why I am this way

And alone I sit in my quiet despair, all alone 

The remoteness that I feel causes me to hide

I hide away from what I really am

My soul thirsts for you but yet I deny

And hold on to something that is hard to let go

So alone I sit in my quiet despair, all alone 

Departure

It was not until recently, when I departed from “religion” that I began to understand my relationship with God. My departure from church was an attempt to grow closer to God. I did not want to go to church so I simply did not go. Why should we feel that we always have to go to church because that is what we are supposed to do. I want to go to church for the right reasons. I needed time away so God could bring that desire back into my heart. I have to believe it 100% in my heart for it to be real to me.
