Suspect those Birth to Corps papers were (or became) just a way of finding out what buttons you have that could perhaps still be pressed. Manipulation, rather than manifestation of blessings.
I remember writing my "The Way For Me From Birth To The Corps" paper. But I don't recall being told that it would be a means of deliverance for us to write it. I just thought VPW wanted to read the deliverance stories of people who had come to The Way. I thought it was all about showing the dramatic changes in our lives that brought us to the place where we wanted to commit to serving as a Way Corps volunteer. I remember it as being that and nothing more. Not that it wasn't "nothing more" than that, but that is how I remember it. I also remember that a bunch of us didn't get it done in time, and VP was livid over it. He almost kicked a bunch of us out of the Corps one day when he assembled we "recalcitrants" in a room off to the right as you walk into the Campus Center at Emporia. Scared the crappola outa a bunch of us in that we thought we'd get sent home from the Corps as failures. But, we were granted a reprieve after all....

Yeah but we aren`t required here. It is something that you enjoy doing or not.
I did it on the old waydale board, so it seems rather redundant here.
