Hello Friend.  I'm so glad you have come to read a bit about my faith. I was saved at the age of 14 during a church revival.  I have not always been faithful in my service to the Lord, but He has always been faithful to me.  My husband and I attended an Assembly of God church while we were dating and for a short while about a year ago, over the years I have also attended Pentecostal churches, Baptist churches and Christian churches.  I don't feel that the denomination is as important as the spirit of the church itself.  For many years now I have know that there has been a calling in my life.  Our pastor at the time was praying for me and told me that I would "have a great ministry."  Until that point I had never really thought I had a purpose in God's service.  At the church I attended after that one I began working with the children.  First teaching a Sunday School class and then taking on the Children's Church as well.  I also handled the VBS and loved it!  The funny thing is, I didn't realize until a couple of years ago that working with the children was my ministry, it was just something I really enjoyed doing.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That is why I chose this way."

When I say..."I am a Christian"
don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.

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

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.
