I recently got my application for working the summer at Johnsonburg in the mail. As I went over the application looking the the information I am going to need such as references, basic info and such, on the last page there are a series of questions. One the questions is "Using your own words, write a personal statement of faith." My first reaction was this is a piece of cake, I'll just look at my statement of faith from confirmation. Then I realized, that statement of faith reflects nothing because what I wrote was a typical s.o.f that was just me answering questions about what I believe. I wrote down what I knew session and everyone would want to hear, nothing from the heart.
So now I sit at the beginning of my journey, again, in writing my statement of faith. This time it's for a purpose greater than doing it just for session. I am doing this for me... and Johnsonburg, but mainly myself. I should be able to define what I believe in without superficial answers.
I have until the 28th to do it but I'm going to start now. This is amazing since i'm the worlds greatest procrastinator.
can't wait to see the statement of faith
