I have been raised on my path for many years. I left my path when we lived in TX. I decided to explore the Christian path. At first it was exciting as all new things are and my parents incouraged me to learn more. As time went on I began to see how different I was treated and how it was thought I needed more attention.
I soon returned to my path after almost 10 years in the Christian world. I did not fit. Everyone made me feel as if I had no idea of their God. It was their mistake to believe so. That is when I went to my mother and stepped outside of my broom closet. She embraced me and said she knew from birth I was going to be different. I would not walk the paths of others that had worn groves in the road but I was going to walk my own path breaking new ground.
Then I had my son. I was promised by the doctor I would never bare a child. I told my mom who was far more devastated than I that if I am worthy of a child I will be blessed with one. She was amazed at my resolve. Now I have a 13 year old son. I was blessed with him shortly after the doctor said no way and I said in the Goddess' time.
Now he has the freedom to walk what ever path he so chooses with my full support. He stradles my path and the Christian path. Then I realized he wasn't straddling two paths he was blazing one of his own. That is when I realized he is truly his mother's son lol.
Then I had some friends that want a very unconventonial wedding. I mean very unconventional. No one will marry them. I said I would see about being ordained. Oh this brought about so much turmoil that some family members will not speak to me this day. Their loss not mine. I thought I was just going to be ordained now I see I am growing and in this growth I have joined a community that is large and very supportive.
So today I am ordained and awaiting my creds from the state to preform weddings. What else will come of this only the Goddess knows. I look forward to walking the path and meeting all the new lights I already see.
