'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
This was given to me for the third time in just a few weeks.
Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."

Thanks for popping by, was lovely having you visit. I look forward to having a good look at your blogs. I see that you like "Les Miserables", did you know that Victor Hugo wrote that story when he lived in exile on the Island of my birth - Guernsey? There is a big statue of him on the Island and his house is a famous place to visit.
Thanks for always making my heart smile, I love you.
Donetta,
Just delightful. I love the dog in the tent. Too fun.
Also, the cartoon about the scale made me giggle. Thank you for joining in the fun. One day it may all catch on out there. I appreciate you adding a little joy to our blog community. You bless me so much. Love and hugs, Lynn
