As a woman who is a follower of Jesus Christ, I have struggled with who and what my true identity is for most of my life. I became a follower of Christ about thirty years ago and immediately the indoctrination began of what was acceptable and what was most definitely not. I had a pretty good idea about the basics, because I was raised in a “Christian home” and knew right from wrong. I also chose to go my own way once I got out of the house and led a life that was a little on the wild side. Nothing salacious, just the regular stuff that every young person experiences once they get out from under their parents influence…and heh, this was the ’70’s folks, if you get my drift.
But then I “saw the Light” and knew that my “ways” had to change. I was a good moral person, I wasn’t wasted all the time and I even took care of the land lady’s trash and trimmed her hair in exchange for a reduction in the rent. No, I just knew things need to be different, that something was missing in my life. That something, was a love that could never leave me. A Love that would never give up on me no matter how much I screwed up. A Love that was bigger than even my sweet husband that I had fallen deep in love with. We began the journey together of learning about this “Love” and becoming Christ followers. (more…)
I have given serious thought to blogging and putting thoughts down for others to see. I know that it’s not a good idea to rant about something/idea/experience when your hormones are raging and it’s over a hundred degrees outside. Yes, I did say 100 degrees. I realize my last post was over the top and that is why I have removed it. I may not approve of the politics of the hour, but my ranting will not change it anymore than ranting about the weather. A steady diet of negativity is bad for the soul, and the body. There is too much to be thankful for.
