So, I decided to come "home" a few days early and help my mom with the kiddos while Natalie works Christmas Village this week. I was SO glad to see Kemp and Daisy. I have missed ALL of my nieces and nephews so much! :) Of course, they were more glad to see Mr.Wiggles than me. Haha. :) Kelley, Pat's new girlfriend, came over and helped with the kiddos. They instantly fell in love with her. She was SO sweet and good with them. :) Kemp asked mom before she came over, "Is she good with children?!" HAHA. I love that. He is a funny little duck to say the least..
Anyways, on my way home I heard a song I haven't heard in years. It made me instantly think..
Who remembers the song, "Jesus Freak" by DC Talk?? I use to listen to it a lot during youth group, but haven't really heard it since then.
Here is the chorus of the song:
What will people think if they hear that I am Jesus Freak
What will people do if they find out its true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
These lyrics REALLY made me stop and think. I had to think about how many times I may not have shared my Faith with someone else because I was afraid of what they may think of me.
I have finally allowed myself to "get lost" in the worship at church. To lift my hands and cry out to Christ. I had always been too concerned with who may or may not be watching me and make fun of me for raising my hands. But, I have finally gotten to the point where I don't care. I want to worship my God and I finally feel comfortable doing it.
Just recently I have learned there are some people that I know VERY well who aren't Christians. They believe that Christians aren't even real. They believe that Christians only believe in Christ because thats what their parents taught them.
That REALLY breaks my heart and makes me mad to be honest! Because, I KNOW that there is a God. There have been WAY too many things in my life that could never have happened without God.
I couldn't imagine not having a relationship with Christ. He is someone I can ALWAYS talk to. Even when no one else is there, I know He is always right there with me.
I feel like in the past year I have become so much stronger in my walk with Christ. I feel a lot of that is to do with me being married. I am so thankful to have a hubby who believes in the same beliefs as I do. I couldn't imagine not having a hubby who wasn't a Christian. That was ALWAYS something that was FIRST on my list for even dating someone. I would have had a really hard time dating or marrying someone who didn't believe in Christ.
I pray that I can really show my Faith to these people who are not Christians. Show them that I am a JESUS FREAK and I am NOT afraid to prove it. :)
Blessings and Peace,
