Journey of Faith

As I lay pondering my next month's challenge I determined to make an attempt to use what had inspired me this week to my advantage.  While watching the documentary "Fasting: The Movie" I was impressed that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would be interviewed when covering the topic of religious fasting.  I was inspired to increase the effectiveness of my fasting by adding prayer.
Over the past few years I have been focused on a study of self-actualization ideas taught in a online certification study known as "The Creation School."  It has taught me how to better meditate as a form of prayer.  The teacher of the courses in certification program has recently called attention to what she calls an expansion of her faith.  I do not pretend to know what she fully intends to define as her expansion but I have recently been noting how many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in my circle, whether that circle be only those who I follow in social media channels or amongst my former ward members, have publicly declared that they are choosing to no longer associate with or hold membership in the church.  
I felt impressed that I my  meditation and prayer will focus on faith.
While others may be comfortable with redefining their faith, I aim to delineate it. My purpose in this month is to contextualize my faith. I seek to rebut the questions that could lead me astray. I am a witness of God at all times and in all things and in all places. I will defend my choice to continue in faith. There may be a collective and accurate memory of the past ways in which I have not been a strong witness, nevertheless, I aim to change that perspective in these entries.
