I am desperately seeking Gods perfect will for my life as I walk through this life on earth. I enjoy life and I love to laugh, a lot! I'm daily amazed at God's power and might and I'm humbled by his passionate love for me and his creation.

Examples of Christ?
I am in a customer service industry and I meet many people of all walks of life. Last week I meet a young man, who very obviously smoked heavily and his father who reminded me much of Robin Williams character in Birdcage (very funny movie I might add). After spending about 30 minutes with them and hearing the bitterness, venom and disdain toward the young man's ex-wife and the bigotry toward much of human life was very trying and at times shocking but they were pleasant and easy to work with. After closing the deal and sitting with them a bit longer did they bring up the fact that they plant churches within the Baptist religion. I must say that it was obvious that came out on accident for there was no intent to bring up their faith walk and was so shocked that I nearly broke my jaw as it fell to the floor. I must say that both gentlemen, for only a moment, had a look of-oh no, I have not been on my best behavior- and it was quickly covered by smiles as I told them what church I attend. As I walked back to my office I sat in my chair and thought about the starving people so eager to know Christ and looking for guidance and an example of his love and acceptance and then they meet them. I wondered, do they walk away burned never wanting to enter a "church" again? Does God move in their hearts and grow them despite the mentoring? Oh Lord may I never have such hatred toward another made in your image.
