Storytime #16: My Journey To A New Faith Choice, Upbringing Faith Behind Me

A new chapter in my life will be reveal as a Unitarian Universalist faith. Ultimately leaving my upbringing faith - Catholic behind me, but only accepting to not forget to say grace / blissing after every meal. From the beginning of research for place that very different faith from my upbringing faith back in 2012. I finally found and accept my new faith of choice - Unitarian Universalism since I returned having the courage to drive again, later last year. Before my car accident in the summer of 2012, I researched and found a very different faith that I started to enjoy - Unitarian Universalism. During my recovery after my car accident, I miss my beloved new faith for a short time I was there. Meanwhile, I was recovering and learning about my cause and effect of my car accident from 2012. From 2012 - 2016, as I learning and manage what my cause and effect of my car accident - I was learning and managed that I have a mental illness - Schizoaffective disorder. By 2016, I returned to college after five year absents - while being hospitalized after car accident, few days or so later in 2012 (first time.) And again at beginning of 2013 (second time) before going to a group home for almost a year in 2013. Then I went to a special service place for mental illness for three years. 2013 - 2016. By 2018 later of that year, I finally had the courage to return drive with my father back to that same Unitarian Universalist Congregation (church.) I had show and explained to him that I respect my upbringing Catholic faith, but I found a new faith that I enjoy more. And then told and show my mother about my new faith I enjoy too. Recently, both of my parents approve my new faith, Unitarian Universalist. Meanwhile, they continued to join their Catholic faith church about 21min. away from home. My faith church/congregation about 31min. away from home. For last couple of months, I been working and patience through out the steps until I become a recognized as member at my Unitarian Universalist Congregation (church) at the Welcome Ceremony at my Congregation (church.) I been driving to and from my new faith church on my own, every Sunday; along with few other places on weekends. And I hope when I ready, I will explain to the rest of my family about my new faith of choice (beside my parents, who approve it; later last year.) 

I had mentioned about my faith of choice before in “Storytime #5: My Coming Out Story - Something I hate to admit to most of my family members.” However, not this detail about my journey.

Life Lessson: Life lesson that will be hard to get over: #3.

For the past week, I been waiting for my final grade to appear for my math class on my college website from Chattahoochee Technical College. This morning, it appeared... with 60.00 (F.) I regret to myself that I should had withdraw from the math class because the fail work I done. I did do tutoring once a week for homework and test. But for my exams, I feel like my work didn’t pay off. My instructor was a former high school teacher before she came to college level at my college. So, for me remembering all of work from tutoring worked, but lack of study time didn’t. Telling my parents about it will destroy my time with them and maybe force me out of the house or worse force me to get a real job without being discriminate against who I am. I had a warning from my last failing grade last year to get my grade up for this year and fail again. I fear I may have to end mission of changing the world from some of my experiences I been though or maybe end this blog site / blog business to something different.

Other folks there who are already Unitarian Universalist who been there religion / faith for years, are very unquie / interesting to me. I hope in my journey doesn't effect my values from the rest of family beside my parents doesn't change.
