Yes, this is the title I present to people when they ask what religion are you?
It is at time so VERY HARD to LIVE up to some of the STANDARDS that have been set before us as a Christians. I mean I examine my own life and know it is not PREFECT..But I am working VERY hard on becoming not only a better person but also a Mom,And a Christian. I want my daughter to understand that there are people in this WORLD that will JUDGE you without knowing the whole story. I have forgiven those who have turned away from me and hurt me and left me wounded.. But also as I continue this Christian journey and I realize that you don't NEED NOBODY'S accptence but YOUR FATHERS in HEAVEN. Ive been going back to church and since I've started, Ive realized a lot of things. People I thought I needed I don't. People who have judged me with out asking first will reap what they soy. And for the people who Ive hurt I ask for your FORGIVENESS. For I am not PREFECT and will NEVER EVER CLAIM to BE!! I have done my wrong doings and is hoping GOd sees that I want to make things RIGHT for me and my daughters future!! I PRAY that in the furture GOD will bless me as he sees fit and not as I see fit. For he is the Beginning and the end. So Im putting ALL my FAITH, TRUST, AND HOPE into the one MAN that CANNOT DISAPPOINT!!!
My favorite Passage comes from
Philippians 4:6&7
I hope you get as much out of it as i did or even MORE!!Be BLESSED!!

You are so very right. We are not perfect. We are called to be like Him, but it is a continual process, we won't achieve perfection on this earth.
Glad you are back in church because there are people there that will help you grow stronger in your faith.
God is good, all the time!

Lets see I'm 61 yrs old and have never in my life asked anyone what their religious beliefs were! I keep mine to myself and I've found that's a good way to live. People who spout how religious they are, have usually turned out to be the biggest hypocrites I've seen and in 61 years and this has been the general rule. Sorry but I've learned they are usually unbalanced and insecure. I usually avoid these discussions it pisses people off, but every now and then I have to speak my peace!

I like to tell others about Jesus Christ because they need to hear it. He is the only way to eternal life.
I am a Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ) and the way I live should reflect that. Most people know that I'm a Christian just by the way I live my life.
God bless!
