Ok, so for anyone who might be thinking, "Hey, those are the names of books plageriser (if that's a word)!" I know they are, that's the point. I am beginnig a journey of Self Discovery, so to speak. I just really feel that today's Christians need to feel free to be themselves and as the old adage (verse) says, "Take the log out of your own eye, before inspecting your neighbor's speck." So that is exactly what I am doing. I will be posting my open and honest emotions on this blog. My responses, confessions, words and prayers will be laid bare before you. I am no longer willing to let myself hide behind a false pretense of perfection of mental togetherness. I am a human, made in God's image and through the fall of man I have become imperfect. I embrace that challenge. BUT, I hope you will keep an open mind as you read. One of my greatest fears in life is that of being judged by my peers--Christians. Sad, but true, I am most at unease with my self around those in my own family. It is witha family that you feel most vulnerable and exposed. I am willing to lay myself before you and let you see the trueface of myself. I am just terrified you won't like me. Is this partly internal, yes, but it is also external (to err is human and there have been many errs against me), so as you read my blogs, take a few breaks here and there and inspect your hearts. Are you reading? Listening? Connecting? Being uplifted? Or are you judging? Condemning? Criticizing and correcting? I just think that through these two awesome books-studies of the me-we can become a better body of Christ...Thanks for reading...
**Note**If you are not a Christian, please read these blogs. You will see that Christianity is not the stuffy place of your youth, but the wondrous world of mercy and new beginnigs through God's perfect, unconditional love. "We have all fallen short...", so you can come and rejoice in your own journey with me...
