I know this doesn’t take you by surprise. You probably noticed I wasn’t attracted to the opposite of Life. I’m just not “in” to sin. Some might call me conservative. I no longer take offense.
I’m lucky - my parents fully support me. In fact, they have been Christian for the majority of their lives. Crazy, huh?
I don’t fit it with some crowds. I don’t mesh with the pro-worldly groups. When others see a rainbow and think of storms – I see a rainbow and think of God’s promises.
I was bullied in school – called a WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) and not invited to certain parties. But I’ve overcome this.
I met someone – around 26 year ago, actually.
His name is Jesus. He loves me for who I am. He would do anything for me – even take a bullet – or a cross. He knows all I’ve been through and He’s never left me. Not once. I sure can’t say that for everyone else I’ve met in the past. But Jesus is different.
I can fully trust Him. I’ve given Him my life. I follow Him where He leads me. And, you know what? I’m not ashamed. Romans 1:16-17
In response to Anderson Cooper's public declaration. I'm certain I've never hid my Christianity, but, since it's the "in" thing to publicly confess your status, I thought I'd chime in...
ReplyDeleteEven though, thru 'direct experience' of Allyson, I 'knew' you were 'one of those' (smile), I truly 'loved' this 'confession of faith'...I cried....and truly her 'actions' back up her words...she was my 'boss' for several years and 'always' 'expemplified' what anyone would cherish in a 'boss'....I believe it has something to do with that....'christian walk'....thank you for who you are....you make me proud to be a 'Christ-ian' alongside you. God bless you and 'God blesses' ALL 'Christ-ians', amen! Donna
