If you read my first newsletter, then you know one of my goals in life is to figure out my lightwork mission. I keep seeing angel numbers pointing me in a direction where I’m supposed to use my creativity and spirituality to pursue lightworking. In fact, I keep getting messages to pursue my lightwork mission now! This has been going on for weeks!
What is a lightworker?
According to the healthy living blogger Sonia Vadlamari, “It often takes some intuitive guidance—as well as going through the process of self-realization and discovery—to realize that their mission on Earth is to make a positive impact in whichever way they can.” To read the full article, please click on the link: What is a lightworker and what do they do exactly?
I’ve prayed and I’ve meditated daily to connect with my intuition and spiritual guides. I believe I found my calling—this spiritual newsletter and helping people heal through art.
A couple days ago, I applied to Life Church’s volunteer program to become a connect leader. I was attempting to start an art group, dealing with comic diaries and art journals. I had finished the questionnaire then the very last question threw me for a loop. It asked if I engaged in sexual sin like living with a significant other before marriage or by being a homosexual.
I didn’t hesitate to click off the website. No way will the words “being homosexual is a sin” ever come out of my mouth. I am part of the LGBT community, and I’m proud of it. I guess I should have known they may be strict because Life Church is a Christian church.
I thought since I was supposed to help people in a spiritual sense that meant I was supposed to join a church and help in that way. Now, I know that is definitely not the case.
I feel in my gut I’m supposed to help people self-reflect and discover how amazing they are through art. No where does it say I need to work or volunteer for someone to do that. Nothing is stopping me from creating my own business. Something that I can manage on my own terms, so on Friday, I called the WV state tax department to see how to apply for a business registration. I’m so excited to be doing this new journey! An entrepreneur, who would have thought it!
…That question on the church volunteer form really got me thinking…I hope no one thinks I’m a homophobe or someone who thinks women are less than men because the bible says so. I’m the same Yawatta—passionate, caring, kind. I have no hate in my heart. I don’t judge anyone’s circumstances. I don’t think I’m better than anyone. I’m still pro-choice. I’m the same Yawatta who now just happens to read the bible daily and meditate to connect with my inner-wisdom, God, and my guardian angels.
I really had to get that off my chest. It would sadden me if someone saw me in a negative light, like they thought they couldn’t hang out with me anymore because I’d always be judging them and trying to make them conservative. Trust me, I’m not conservative. In fact, I’m very laidback.
I’m not religious even though I believe in God and Jesus, but I’m learning to become very spiritual. I pray every day that this world can find peace, and I’m willing to do all that I can, even if it’s by helping one person at a time.
Thanks for listening to me. I really appreciate it :)
Keep smiling,
Yawatta Hosby
