Wow, so here we go. I am not sure exactly what I'm doing and I am definitely not a writer by any means. I have not always been a Christian. I was not raised in the church and came to know Christ as an adult. That being said, I think of it as a blessing now. I do not approach my Christian walk the same as I may have had I been indoctrinated with conventional religious expectations. Don't get me wrong I cannot imagine my life without my church family! And I would not want to raise my family without this sense of community and accountability. I'm simply saying I didn't know what a church lady was supposed to look like or act like and so I didn't aspire to be that. I love the story of David and how he was a ruddy sheep farmer. That it was so unlikely to his family that he would be God's chosen they didn't even call him in from the fields till Samuel asked about him. I love that God calls him a man after his own heart even though his story is one of failure and redemption, that when he was in the midst of his sin he did not pull back from his Father but stayed in close relationship with Him. He knew that life spent with God in repentance was so much better than a life of pride without him. He was so in love with Father God that he had no problem being humble in God's presence even though he was the King of a chosen people. I even love that he threw fits and cried out to God. He was a total drama king! Don't believe me read Psalms 22. Anyway through it all God loved him and he loved God. It never wavered. It never changed. That is a true love story. And I am a sap for a good love story!!!!
God bless and keep you,
Ms. Jill
