Yes, I am beginning the development of the final book in the 3rd series: Journey of Discovery’. This book is called – The Discoveries – which will be released sometimes in the Fall, 2022, so I felt this an appropriate post because discoveries are incredibly important. I’ve also discovered that discoveries are highly personal. What may be brand new to me may be something that you discovered long ago. It’s all good.
Soooo? I think problems arise not in the discovering but in how we interpret Our feelings, our learnings, our understandings, our experiences that form the what, how we discovery. However, I think it’s much more about what we DO with the discoveries. Abd this includes what we experienced the last time we shared what we discovered.
And yes, I do believe it’s how we stand on our believing that makes tie difference. Do we listen to a view that’s different than ours that’s on the same topic? Or do we sit on our heels, not even entertaining the thought there might be a different interpretation.
When it comes to discovering, you are never done exploring and discovering ‘everything’ related to a particular topic. And we do, or should, relate in an iron sharpening iron attitude when differences arise because it’s not the discovery, it’s the interpretation that is the focus of dispute. Probably the bottom line is – whose definition of words is used? Do we find scriptures that confirm our understanding. If the final authority isn’t your word then we’ll always find differences.
Discovering falls into the ‘category’ of adventures and exploration for me. Perhaps it’s because I’ve grown to love and appreciate scripture that is the foundation for this attitude/definition. What about you? Are you up for discovering? Do you embrace this behavior-attitude or do you avoid it?
Come on! Join me in this fascinating, never ending, sometimes painful, never boring, always enlightening attitude/behavior of Discovering! This too is all it’s cracked up to be. But do come with an understanding of your own foundational beliefs, an open mind, a not taking offense at a differing perception, and an expectant heart.
