Well, not sure if I've said this yet, but I am a Christian. My dad is a Nazarene pastor. I have grown up in the church, but I'm not one of those religious people. You see, I'm not tied down and choked with rules and burdened with going to church constantly. Nope. I am free and as happy as can be. Now, I used to be very burdened and taken over by my own selfishness, guiltiness, and shame. Not anymore.
I am alive in Christ Jesus.
God let's me (you too) talk to him, to know him, to love him. I can talk to the Creator of the universe, everything ever known and unknown. And, he listens. He cares. He loves me. The same goes for you. How awesome is that!
A lot of the time I get caught in life and complaining about everything. [Just look at the other posts]. A lot of stuff can happen in a day: someone takes offense to something that you say, you forget to study for a test, you slip up, guilt comes strolling in, and there you are, all vulnerable and scared. There is something that I forget about sometimes. It is called grace. God has forgiven my sins; he said he said he has thrown my sin as far as the east is from the west.
Life can get in the way. But, in reality, none of it matters. All that matters to me is God and the people that I can impact for him in my life. Hopefully, I can lead some people to him before it is too late, because that would be a wasted life. I'm working everyday to get to know God, like really know him. Thanks for listening. :)
