I love learning something new. To me, it keeps life interesting. My reading journey started about five years ago when I was going through a transitional period in my life. I never really had a desire for reading but at this particular time in my life I was looking for answers. I started out reading spiritual books. When I would see the scriptures in the books I wanted to know if the Bible matched the context in which it was being used. I guess you could call it “fact checking”. I found myself reading the Bible more and started to come to my own sense of understanding, my own Truth, of the parables.
You never know where the journey will take you. Fast forward, two years later, as I began to work with a new direct selling company, I pondered who I could market my products to. My daughter had just had a baby and I was planning on watching my granddaughter when my daughter returned to work. The traditional networking avenues I was familiar with were no longer an option. My creativity kicked in one day when a Jehovah Witness stopped by to visit my home. They came to share their good news. I thought to myself I could share mine too. That one visit turned into several. They visited with me for over six months.
What I learned during those visits had to do more with how I interacted with others as we discussed a the hot topic of religion. I learned its okay to not only agree or disagree, but to express myself without threatening someone else’s belief. We are all entitled to out opinions. Someone else’s belief does not diminish who you are.
