an open letter about my faith

If you were to ask me what church to attend, I would not tell you. I would tell you to pray for guidance. If you were to ask me if only one church is right, I would tell you my opinion....a personal relatonship with God is right. I would tell you about the joy God has brought into my life, but only if you ask. I am not a tree stump Christian nor one with an agenda that is in any way negative. My agenda consists only. only. only of my salvation, knowing the true scripture, having a personal relationship with God and loving those around me with the realization that my Jesus died for them. Of course, raising my kids to know God is also a big part of what is important to me.

My spirituality is very personal to me and yet very public because it is who I am. Knowing God has been a painful, hard, emotional, wonderful, joyous, heart wrenching, euphoric, tearful, etc. etc. experience and I'm pretty sure it will continue to be most of those from time to time.

I love reading the Bible! I love studying with my family and my Bible study group. I find huge joy in it and for that I'm thankful. I talk to God all day. He isn't a friend I leave in the prayer place, he's one who is beside me all day.

My point is this: My spirituality is mine. The path I've taken is not contagious, so I don't need to be feared.
