As suggested by a friend, I picked up a new book today at Barnes & Noble titled "The lies women believe, and the truth that sets them free" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
The book is divided into sections, and I've only completed the first two, but wow... I'm not sure I've ever thought so hard or looked so deeply into my own thoughts and actions.
I am tired tonight from my travels, and have quite the headache, so my blog tonight will be brief. I did, however, wanted to make sure that I took these few moments to reflect and write today's thoughts.
Today, I saw some things from a different viewpoint. I saw a "Christian," someone who regularly attends church and who is very vocal about their beliefs in God act like they have never known Him. I watched in amazement as the "F" word flew out of their mouth repeatedly, followed by a couple of carefully executed middle finger salutes...all in casual conversation. Now, don't get me wrong...I'm not judging. What I am doing, is realizing that was me not so very long ago. I can't believe that I claimed to be a Christian, yet acted like that. How foolish! No wonder Christians have such a bad name.
I know I'm making huge changes in my life, and to some they don't understand, to others it may be overboard. To me, it's time. Not only do I not want to project that kind of image as a Christian, but I don't want to project that image as a mother, a friend, a wife, or anything else.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
