Staying "Off" Topic...:)

Jesus Freak Am I




I'm used to be known as a geek a nerd or even just weird. Wouldn't it be great to be all these things for a good cause? So I'm coming out of the incensed closet! I'm a Jesus Freak! WHoooooo HooooOOOO! I'm trying hard to live out more spiritually. Based on the above book I'm reading, I'm getting there slowly. I'm redirecting how I pray these days, less self focused and more balanced this time. I plan to make it a point to learn more verses from the Bible for there are words that are uplifting and can encourage others when shared with others. In this book there is even a list of verses to learn that it suggests all "Jesus Freaks" learn! I can say, in my spiritual journey so far, the inner change has been positive. I fear it can be taken away by those who don't like freaks of my sort but that just shows you how much further I have to grow. I desperately would like to work outside of myself, but often I allow the fear of circumstances of living at home and honor the family to keep in a tower like Rapunzel. I know God is probably just preparing my time to blossom out of this cocoon, so until I'm ready I will wait. Forcing myself out too soon might only make me less stronger than planned by God. Trust in HIs timing is what I've learned.

With the above, one might think I'm all red roses and butterflies inside, but I go through the normal ups and downs and live through those normal in betweens we all are facing. I just like to testify that God does make a difference with great faith. I pray that others will find Him in their life. Has he found you? If not yet, pick this book up....

Return to Faith

The Prodigal Son

A few months ago, I was going through a trial of faith. Nearly to the point of foregoing everything I once believed in. Then a book by Lee Strobel brought me back (A Case for Faith-Student Edition). Though I may still have doubts, they are ones of a believer!!! And so I return at the feet of the Lord, who take me in his arms to guide and protect me, in spite of my past and my weaknesses.
