2008 Is Going To Be Great!
I like to blog because I like to talk and get things off of my chest.
Blogging allows me to do this in a creative way. However, one of the things I really like to talk about is my faith. You may have noticed, I don’t blog much about that.
I think it’s because of one word that has been used out of context for years…………and this word has been used to fool the world……………..
That word is “hypocrisy or hypocrite”.
Let me explain to you what I mean……………I am a Christian. I do not remember a time in my life when I did not believe in God or Jesus.
When I was 18, God started revealing to me his love in a more active way and since then I have struggled to change.
I have had many seasons where I have been close to God and many seasons where I have been close to myself (very self-centered). Therefore, I have made many mistakes.
But here is my point, I find myself hiding my faith in fear of being judged by others.
My fear is based on the fact that I don’t want people to know that I’m Christian……….because I’m not perfect……..
I believe many Christians hide for the same reason. But here is the truth……..if you believe what the Bible says is true…………then you know that you will never be perfect and no one on earth is.
We are a work in progress.
For those of you that just said to yourself………….”oh great, here we go – she’s turning into a holy roller………..a Bible thumper……..I wont be visiting this blog anymore”………
all I have to say is….I am the same me! My hope is to be gut wrenchingly honest.
Maybe – I can encourage someone ………or on a more selfish note……….I will encourage myself – I do enjoy talking about God and I enjoy laughing at my own imperfections.
