A moot point from where I'm sitting GG, I'm afraid.
Never.
I agree, but this blog is based on what I believe....I hope someday it won't be...
I don't mean that I've never looked. I've just not had the "glow" of true faith. I can't see it ever happening either. It'd be nice to know what it was like I think but I'm not keen on the implications (emotionally, intellectually, I mean) that go with it.
To my sweet sita email I just got, no I didn't mean that I someday hope this blog isn't based on what I believe LOL!!!! I meant that I hope someday Hov won't find it a mute point!!! You crack me up!! but thank you, I'm tired today...and am taking a break from it all! :)
I became a Christ Follower August 19, 1990. I was attending a church, by my own choice, and this particular weekend they had a guest speaker from Mexico. His name was Mardi. He had a VERY heavy spanish accent. I sat there thinking to myself "what in the world is this man saying!" I think at times he was actually slipping in some spanish words - it was so very bizarre to me! He was beginning to wrap up, and I only knew that because the music team was making their way back to the front, and I thought - I didn't get anything from this morning at all - I couldn't understand a word he said. I had been attending there for 2 months and was really searching at this point. Then suddenly I heard Pastor Mardi say these words, "Ipp inee-one bood like to inbite Heesis in thair art..." translation..."If anyone would like to invite Jesus into their heart..." That was enough for me - I heard THAT - I knew it was my moment to say "Lord, I choose you!" And so I did! He was real to me in that moment - I was ready - There is no language barrier in matters of the heart and Spirit - and mine were spoken too that day!
That seems to be key doesn't it Tam? To really be searching, not just exploring one of many options, but searching with a heart believing He's the only option....Love your story, love that I'm part of this chapter! Oh, hey that's sounds like a book, Oh speaking of books...... ;)
When God became real to me? mmmm I could write a book on it, but I will just give a summary.
I was incredible desperate for HIm to be real, nothing else was working. I had experienced many loved ones dying, and the loss was more than I could stand. I was drug and alcohol addicted, and had no preference in either, anything and everything. After many screaming battles with HIM, HE became so real to me, and asked if HE is big enough for me, and enough for me. HE filled the sky around me, and I just fell to the ground, trembling and crying. I have never felt so much love totally enclose me, and we walk together now, no more screaming at HIM, but sometimes questioning, but mostly smiling and laughing, knowing what intimacy is and what love truly is. knowing that I am safe in HIS shadow..let the world bring it on, I am in the "win-win" cirlce. Love ya Princess to princess
