Begin now.
How do you treat people that think differently than yourself? Do you really show kindness or secretly are you thinking I want away from this person? To me a belief really isn't a belief until it's tested. It's easy to say that I know to treat everyone the same, but do I really? When I'm with someone that challenges the very core of my beliefs, am I still kind?
Well, I can say this; I'm growing and learning every day. My daughter, Becca, has been a person that has taught me a lot. You see, I'm a conservative woman, in the way I vote, my daughter is liberal. For Christmas, Becca gave me Sarah Palin's book....lol, she stood in line to buy a book she doesn't even like and couldn't care less about what Sarah Palin has to say about anything...but she knew it would be something I would enjoy, She put aside what people would think of her standing in line to purchase it. We laughed so much, as she told the story of standing in line and the conversation she had with an older couple buying the book for each other. It's funny, but there are many times that things aren't as they appear.
When you don't know what to do, or how to respond........something my favorite Uncle says...."Just Be Kind"

I have allowed what other people may think of me or how people might judge me, to prevent me from telling others about Jesus.
I was afraid that people would see me as "not fun" or "relegious". I let what society might think of me, stop me from telling them about our God. I was afraid that I wouldn't be "accepted".
I will no longer be afraid, I will be bold, yet kind, strong yet tender, loving and accepting, yet never leaving or straying away from God.
I believe what I believe because of my relationship with Jesus, not because of relegion. I will not believe things, just because it's the "in" thing or because I'm afraid of what people might think of me.....lol, it's crazy that I've actually lived that way.
Starting now! I began my New Journey, my Real Journey and may our God (who gives to everyone freely) give me the grace, mercy, and wisdom to live the purpose that he has called me to do.
No longer wil I be afraid to say "There is only one God" No longer will I be afraid to say yes I'm a born-again Christian. I will be me! I laugh, act silly, ride a motorcycle. I will live life fully!
May Our God Bless you all!!

Charles Stanley wrote "Resurrection is not a denominational issue or a point for theological debate. Either we believe Christ rose from the dead and ascended into heaven or we do not. If we reject his victory over the grave, we deny ourselves a place in eternity. But if we accept the truth Paul assures that we will be saved."

You are special to God, you are different that anyone on earth. I hope that our thoughts are on Christ this weekend, because we are on his mind.

God Bless you all my braveheart sisters,
with much love
