Breathing Room

One Place

Today I've been listening to different sermons online that my co-worker told me about at a site called One Place. I find that at times I want to handle everything on my own and figure it out by myself but I know that I should give it all to God. I wonder if the rash on my cheeks is partly due to stress.

I feel really uncomfortable advertising my faith at times, because I don't want to come off as if I'm judging anyone for their belief's because ultimately it isn't up to me. But I've been finding a lot of comfort in listening to these messages because I think I need to be reminded that there is a bigger picture. Blessings don't come without suffering.

Dave and I get into a lot of debates with friends of ours about religion. We both have the same faith but we discuss what it means to be a Christian. I get so angry when I feel as if someone is telling me I'm not doing enough (and they are). I think everyone's walk is different, we are all at different places within our spiritual journey and ultimately only you and God know the truth.

But I also think - I'm really not doing enough. I should study more and find a church home (I've been going to Dave's church and visiting a lot) and maybe that's why I get so irritated. Tne truth stings whether you admit it or not.

I don't know. As is obviously seen around the world, religion can be such a volatile subject.
