"I am a Christian"

Hey all,

I didn't write this. I found it on my friend Nancy's facebook page. I thought it was really really cool. So I thought I would share it with you all (whoever you may be)!


When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost! That's why I chose this way"

When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble-needing God to be my guide

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I'm worth it

When I say, "I am a Christian," I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name

When I say, "I am a Christian," I do not wish to judge
I have no authority--I only know I'm loved.

I read this and thought "yeah, that sums up a Christain pretty well." But then I thought "It should sum me up better than it does." That is not always my attitude. So . . . another thing for me to work on!! YAY :)

Guess Who

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it the second time through.
As to who you are . . . I am so tired right now my brain hurts (what's left of it anyway). But here's a couple guesses:

It could be Amy, see . . . I did the same thing to her a few weeks ago. But on the other hand Amy just isn't the revengeful type.

It could be Luke because he's just totally random like that. But, he would be commenting out of order if that were the case and that doesn't make sense.

It could be Anna, because she gets uses facebook and might have seen the article.

Or for that matter it could be Joanna.

ugh . . . too much thinking this late is not healthy . . . I'll have to come back to this later.
