Today is the Day!

My heart has been stirred lately in what God is doing in my life. I find myself so sensitive, and ready to cry at a moments notice. Some could say it's because I'm 50 :), but I believe it's because God is doing a work in my spirit and revealing my need for Him.

It's amazing how one moment I am hearing from God and the next I am frustrated with the car that just cut me off on the freeway. I need balance, and that is what I am getting from this new church family I am a part of.

First let me say, I have loved God since I was 3 and have seen many types of Christians, but I find myself wanting to be real. In some churches you have to be part of the "in" crowd to be in ministry, but I have found a new home.

This church is real, you are the crowd! There is no one that sticks out as the Pastors favorite, or best friend. In fact, my new Pastors are so real that I feel like I can seek to be the most pure vessel of honor for Christ and at the same time not battle with "legalism".

It's an ugly truth but it's true, some Christians have so many rules that it give me a headache.

If the truth be told, I was once one of them!
No longer am I bound to religion, I am free as a bird...
Sounds like a song... LOL

Recently, Zack and I were talking on the phone about God and stuff. He inspires me to think outside the box.

He said we shouldn't get caught up in the issues of church and religion. We should just follow the 10 commandments, hello... I spent 12 years of paying for Christian Schools.... and it wasn't until he became an adult to learn such a basic truth?
How funny.

Anyway, I am rambling... we are not allowed to do that in our family :).

My point, or one of them is this: Love God with all your heart and you will love others as well.

So in a practical way this is what I want to do in this season of my life.
Look out for the orphans, the widows, and those down and out. Bring them hope that things will get better.

In one of my next blogs I need to write about one or more of my most down and out times...

The day Donna dropped off brownies and a roll of quarters to my house and the drive through the Grape Vine where I had my crisis of faith.
