🕊 Why I Left the Church—but Not the Sacred

“You are not a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being having a human experience.” – Wayne Dyer

I was eleven when I first stood on a stage in church,

 trembling for the first time, speaking to thousands about God.  

Not just reciting verses—but flying.  

Something in me opened that day.  

Not performance. Not ambition.  

Just presence.  

Just truth.

I’ve always known my calling.  

Not to entertain. Not to convert.  

But to guide.  

To awaken.

I studied theology.  

I can marry people.  

I’ve read the Bible like a love letter and a mirror.  

My problem was never with God.  

Never with Jesus.  

It was with the walls.  

The silence.  

The shame.  

The way the church sometimes forgot the very love it preached.

So I left the institution.  

But I never left the sacred.

I outgrew the walls but kept the altar

I became spiritual—not to escape—but to remember.  

To remember how Jesus came to teach us the new way to worship,

A new testament, sacred, kind, loving.

It is why he died on the cross for us.

I follow spirituality, 

To find God in breath, in memory, in my heart.  

To speak of Jesus without fear.  

To teach without hierarchy.  

To love without conditions.

I’m not here to be “woo-woo.”  

I’m here to be real.  

We are stardust and soul,  

miracles wrapped in memory.  

Starseeds, Oracles, quiet flame-carriers—  

children of God,  

remembering who we are.

Like the quiet ones who carry fire in their hearts.

Remember the trinity, 

the Father, the Old Testament, passed. 

The Son, the New Testament, 

died to teach us.

And the Holy Spirit,

We are called to be spiritual beings.

This journal is my sanctuary.  

A place for remembering, for healing, for truth.  

I write for the seekers.  

The shy ones.  

The ones who speak to God in whispers and dreams.

You are welcome here.  

You are not alone.  

And you were born remembering.
