Thoughts

I was walking home from work today, and I was utterly miserable. Not a great start to a story maybe, but I guess this is just more of an expression of thought and feelings rather than a story. To continue, I was walking home, feeling miserable about being alone right then, and about half way home, about when my feet and pants were soaked I realized no I'm not really alone right now. How could I be with Netjer watching over me? Every god in existence walking with me, how in the world could I be alone? I'm not, I never was. Nobody is ever really alone in the world, all gods watch over them. The benevolent gods, the angry gods, gods of war, gods of peace, of love of any other feeling you can name, the gods you believe in, the gods you don't, the named, and yet unnamed gods. They all watch over you, they watch over everyone. Netjer is all around us, it is being worshiped everywhere! What you happen to call it is not important, it's that you sing out it's name, whatever form that may be, and be thankful for all you recive. All the lessons, and the material goods. The good times and the bad, everything teaches something, always. Needless to say, this helped me a lot, to be honest I'm stubborn and was still fairly unhappy for a bit afterwards, I blame it on the stress lately, but it did teach me something. That Netjer is always there, through everything. Nekhtet!

Em Hotep!
I haven't updated this blog in awhile. I thought I would put down a few thoughts/conversations/etc. that I've had in the past little while. First off, I've realized how truly dedicated I am to my faith. I've really known it all along, but I think Netjer just needed to bonk me over the head to get my to acknowledge it. Sometimes I feel as though I don't do enough when it comes to worship, I don't do Senut, but I do want a shrine. Unfortunatly I probably won't have the means to make one until after I move, probably even after that. I may see if I can find some things to make a little portable shrine, but I'm still not sure about that. I still pray every day though, and I do whatever I can to spread ma'at. It's hard at times, but it is my path, it is what is right.
The Kemetic Orthodox community, though I may only know them through the internet, is positively filled with wonderful, helpful, considerate, and compassionate people. Hemet(AUS) is a wonderful leader and teacher and I thank Netjer for her. May she live a long and wonderful life, Nekhtet!
I think I'm going to skip out on the conversation part of this until another day. I'm tired and I have to get up early tomorrow morning.

Ankh, Udja, Seneb everyone!
