/blog/Rebekka/?pid=f3104 [COLOR darkblue][B][COLOR red]*Disclaimer: I don't have to believe the way you believe or the things you believe in for me to love you. [/COLOR] 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 person with faults, Who received God's good grace somehow. This poem, "When I Say I'm A Christian" was written by Maya Angelou. Thank you Ms. Angelou for allowing me to copy and use your poem. To all my brothers and sisters in the Lord... You ARE somebody and you ARE loved. Be blessed in Jesus name.[/B][/COLOR] /blog/3207/post_80579.html?pid=f3104&m= I married my best friend of 5 years.
