My Religion

As most of the people close to me know, I am becoming quite involved in church. I love it, I would go everyday if I could. Bella goes to nursery and she loves it there. She is always asking to go to church and she gets really excited when she "finds" the church. The other day as we were leaving she informed me that she, "...loves Jesus very very much." When those words came out of her precious mouth it made my heart jump. I want her to feel that fire, I want her to be raised in that environment.

I am trying really hard to be a good faithful Christian. I know I slip, and fall and I know that I won't be perfect, and I'm okay with that. Yesterday I listened to an awesome service. The pastor did an amazing job on really explaining some basics. He said that people who were really Christians had a grateful heart and wanted to do good works to glorify God, not to boast about their good works. He also said one great statement, that perfect church people won't help people who need help, but grateful people will. He then gave an example of a meth addict or alcoholic. Those of you close to me, know who my alcoholic is. And I was faced with a tough situation regarding him about a week ago. I knew the situation was a sign from God, a test, a lesson, but I didn't understand it. I prayed for God to give me a plain as day answer, and God does answer prayers. He gave me an answer yesterday.

So yesterday after leaving church I called my alcoholic and his situation has changed, he is in the position to go back to his old self. And I'm faced with a dilemma, do I do the works of a good church person or do I run away? To all of my Christian readers, keep me in your prayers, I need it.
