Genuine

We are Very blessed to be part of FBC Purcell church. we have been there for four years already and in ways it feels like i have been there forever. We have really connected with our Sunday School class. We love our group, we generally like to be called "conversion" its just fun to be around our friends and have so much in common with where we are in life. We can all relate with work, kids, marriage, and so on. anyways we love them and are so glad to have each person in our life's.

all that to say that we have been going threw a book on sunday nights called "crazy Love" and its been really good to see what God is showing us. its been pretty convicting and sometimes a hard reality but i do think its just what we needed. this past week was about being or not being a Christian. and see i think so often we use the word "Christian" to loosely. we all seem to think we are "good People" or "Christians" but i think we miss the whole point. its not about the label we give each other or the tittle we acquire. its the realness we have with Jesus. i am all about being Real, Honest, and Genuine. in fact i use those words a lot in my life. but i really have a hard time being real with God. even though He knows it all already. i find myself always looking out for me and what i am needing to hear. i think that God is knocking me upside the head and saying listen, listen , listen.

i think about my roll with Emrie, how i am always guiding and teaching her new things to do or not do. and God is always doing that very same thing with me. he is gently guiding me down the road i need to take.

i think when we get so caught up into what is right for "us" that we often miss the big picture point. i don't think its about what makes us feel warm and fuzzy but its about moving and guiding us towards things that matter. things of eternal value, not the type of music, the temperature, or the circumstances you have to face.

For me, i want to be better, move forward, and be real with God.
