it's important that we take a look at our faith and our servitude.
it isnt fair for me to call myself a believer, when i havent shown the dedication, pride, and servitude to Him on a complete level.we are all guilty of this. but why stop now? why all of a sudden call is quits on your servititude, when the purpose of being a Christian is to grow. whether you complete follow the doctrine or not, loving God is not a title, but a relationship. some may think it silly to cop out on a relationship because you don't feel like you are completely giving to it

you have no idea how truly amazed i am that i've been so lucky (whether it be luck, or that's how it was destined) to come across people like you in my life. i'd really love to talk with you about all of this, just to get another person's perspective on this equation. and thank you dearly for voicing your thoughts, i know He has been a major influence on your life. <3
i commend you for being 1 part 'i rule' and 2 parts 'awesome'. i appreciate you taking time out of your day to read all that..some people wouldnt even give it two seconds...i adore you. <3
I don't know you. But what you wrote spoke so true to me. I think it's a very smart decision that you made....I'm struggling with trying to 'separate' myself from the Christian label currently, and have been for the past two years or so. I believe. But I don't necessarily live. And it's been frustrating for people who have known me so long to just assume something that isn't really true, and it's been hard to distance myself from the label that's hung over my head. I don't want to be labelled something when I'm not truly following the lifestyle, because I don't want to give others who truly are a bad name. Anyway. I also am giving it some time to see if I'll want to come back around. But it's been 2 years so far, and I'm not sure....I'll stop rambling now.
i sincerely give thanks for you opening your mind to reading and voicing your opinions on this...it's been something in the back of my mind for awhile...and i finally decided i need to face up with things and take a breather to assess the standpoint i was at. while a lot of it is still blurry, i think i've finally come to a conclusion and a happy medium in my life...but i definitely dont think this is the end of my relationship with Him...i'd be completely naive to say so.
i need you to talk to. and i want to hear all the glorious things about living out of town and then coming home and such. it's been awhile. we need this talk! we need to plan another vag weekend.
