When our lives reflect the brightest Light, we become Transparent.
Magazine Overview January 21, 2008
I was searching for an online outlet for my recent interest in blogging. The blogs that I am writing are stories with some spiritual observation, stories from my life that had some bit of relavence or nugget that I have learned about myself on this jounrey of Christianity. However I couldn't find something for a "modern day Christian." I struggled to find something that felt relevant to me. Something that was not overly "Religious" and that spoke to my heart in a way that I could relate too.
I have come to understand a bit of the frustration that Jesus had towards the Pharisees. I did not understand "Christian Speak" and would often get frustrated at the judgment I felt at the hands of well meaning (and not so well meaning) Christians. I have learned that I am not alone in these feelings.
I have met and have been inspired by Christians that are real.
That are warriors.
Christians that struggle and win and are not afraid to share their experiences for the betterment of others.
Christians that are willing to share these experiences, even if it means that they don't look "perfect" in the eyes of a traditional church, or a traditional church attendee.
I believe that I am "saved by God's grace" (I hope that's not too religious for you) however I still want to try to improve my life while I'm here on earth. I feel that my life is a spiritual journey, and my Christianity is not a destination but a work in progress. I want to share that journey with others, in an attempt to serve and support OUR journey.
