Thank you ((((((((( sky ))))))))))

I can't control another's choices along their journeys, nor their destinations. I've learned that. It's one reason I stated my *vows*...knowing I can only control me, and possibly example for others who might be searching.

Being raised in, first Fundamental Baptist, then Southern Baptist churches, I understand the desire, calling and direction given to "share". I truly understand that...having had been in mission work singing, teaching Sunday School, doing the old-fashioned "street preaching", etc.

In my individual journeys, I've had my own personal convictions. Mine might not be yours, and visa versa, but at one time they were to share, share, share.

In my 30's my eyes were opened to certain types of sharing, altering my personal convictions, though. There is a fine line between sharing and pushing. When pushing, there's a finer line between pushing to and pushing away. I've seen the pushing away and it broke my heart. I vowed to never push at that point. To ensure I wasn't pushing, I vowed to never share unless asked and then to walk softly...to example.

That's just one part of my personal journey, and what I've learned in regards to your comment of, "But also, realize that I do know my path's end, and want to share it with everyone, and have it be their path's end too...whatever they go through in getting there."

I do the same, excepting the "everyone". Mine would read, "But also, realize that I do know my path's end, and want to share it with *anyone showing interest and asking...answering only what's asked of me, then acknowledging that others who follow a different belief than I probably feels just as strongly in their commitment as I do. Mine's right for me. Is their's right for them and their needs in the moment even though I can't imagine it...knowing we're both still on the journey?*" I can't imagine the world's creation...cannot comprehend it though I believe it true. Is there more that's true that I simply can't imagine/comprehend? I'd venture to say there's LOTS.

I appreciate you, and respect you in your journey.
