Most importantly it is these words that we live by, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" Joshua 24:15.
Which brings me to today's topic, being a Christian. For those who don't know me, I am a Christian. Did I say in another blog post of mine that one doesn't talk about politics or religion with friends and family? Well just because "It's been said" doesn't mean I follow that saying. I saw this and thought that it really says it all.
Some people have asked me how I can be so positive all the time. I can't take credit for that, I pray often for help to be a better mom, a better wife, daughter, sister and friend and I believe God is with me every step of the way. People say, "Well you haven't had it as bad as I have" or "You can't possibly understand what I am going through" but truth is, sometimes my pain feels just as dark and heavy as yours, just in a different way. I just take that dark and heavy pain and give it to God. I trust he knows what he is doing and that his plan is far greater than my understanding. I've had people say to me when they are talking about something they don't think I'd agree with, "Sorry Bon, but...". You don't have to be sorry. Actually by you saying that tells me I am being exactly the person I want to be and it's showing in my actions and words. I would have to say that you just paid me a compliment.
I don't claim to know all the answers about Christianity, to be honest I still have a lot of questions myself as to why God did this or that or why he let's certain things happen to us and those we love? Some of those questions can be answered and some I won't know the answer until I ask God myself when I stand before him when my time on Earth has ended. Until then I will live my life as a imperfect Christian women, in an imperfect world saved by the Grace of God.
