About Me

"When I Say, 'I'm a Christian'"
Originally by Carol Wimmer, with alterations

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!

Why I Want To Get In Shape

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

I want to look and feel better. I want to be healthy and be able to stop taking all of my medications. I want to get married someday, and I want to wear a beautiful dress. I want my new husband to be able to pick me up and carry me over the threshold. I want to be healthy enough to have children, and I want to be able to keep up with them once I do!
