I love Jesus and He loves me. What anyone else thinks . . . not really sure if I care anymore. What did Dr. Suess say? I am what I am . . . You know you don't have to go far from home for non clique friendship. And I don't care what school you do or don't put your kids in and I wouldn't care, if I were you, about what people think about your choice. That is up to you and Shawn - and that is all. No one else. Amy, I will drink your wine and bring champagne for Kenna. Let's hook it up and enjoy each other's company and our individuality. <br />MIranda Lambert sings a song that says. "I heard Jesus he drank wine and I bet we'd get along just fine." I have days were the alcohol outways the food purchase at Fresh and Easy were every mom I ever knew happens to be shopping at.

This resonated with me so much, especially since I just finished posting a huge rant about living a life that's actually real on my own blog just a little while ago and this topic of 'Stepford Christianity' is something that's been weighing on me heavily. <br /><br />I love your honesty and reality about all this, and this post encouraged me so much. You are the kind of Christian that this world needs, one that is actually real. <3<br /><br />-Steffany<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231079097803985522.post-31490200503714554792013-08-21T20:32:12.855-07:002013-08-21T20:32:12.855-07:00GASP- A TUBE TOP?!!!

My Partner (since he is far more than a 'boyfriend') was raised by very strict conservative parents and ended up getting married young to someone he didn't really love because that's what he thought he had to do. While I'm not very spiritual I do participate in whatever activities he asks me to (I.E. AWANA, the rare times his work schedule isn't on a Sunday, Bible reading with the kids) and I do enjoy myself.<br /><br />And yes, you can bet his parents are unhappy about our 'situation', but even though they judge, they do recognize that I only mean well and this is all out of love. In the end I believe that's what the Bible and the message of God is - To Love.

Thanks for a great comment. These things...Kirsten, <br />Thanks for a great comment. These things you speak of: not cursing, no sex before marriage, church every Sunday... yes, I understand it all... I was raised strictly to believe these very things (not really by my parents- more by the church we attended). As I grew older I sensed there was something more to God than a set of rules and all the legalism I was taught, more than the FIRE & BRIMSTONE baby! I'm now 33 and the number of people I know who have left Christianity because they just couldn't "keep up" with all of the perfection- well, it speaks volumes at how we're doing- the church as a whole.<br />I hope you will not give up on seeking out God because some people are blind to how their hasty judgements affect others. We're not all so bad, I promise...
