When I Say " I am a Christian"
by Carol Wimmer
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost!" That's why I chose this way.
"When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble-needing God 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 that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught.
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far 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 heartache 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.

Ashleigh NEEDS Cici's jump rope lessons! HaHa!! But can we afford the lessons?? :D
Love this; and I pray and think often before I open my mouth on who Jesus is to me. When I read of Jesus among people He was gentle yet strong and He met the people where they were. Sometimes we can get so caught up in our evangelism excellence we forget about the soul in front of us.
I had a book on naviagation title "Staying Found." I tell people that's what Jesus is to me; in spite of myself.
Keep it real and keep it coming, wonderful Kelly!!!
I am a Christian and I really like this!
I really like this.
