My Jesus and Love Notes

Mrs. Wresh has posted her Week 4 Challenge on her blog. Be sure to check it out because there is an awesome template she is offering as well.

This week's challenge is to scrap what we believe about God. This took some real thought. I can tell anyone what I think about God, but to scrap it was difficult. I found the photo for my LO in a bunch of VBS photos from our old church. I think the photo says it all, but my journaling is very heartfelt.

I used the template Mrs. Wresh provided and SeAScrApS's kit, Remember. It's very simple but speaks volumes. You see, it has taken me at least 15 years to realize that Christianity IS NOT about forcing people to hear the Gospel message. It isn't all about "winning souls to heaven" or whatever you would like to call it. I think that deep down, I have known this all along, but now, it makes me sad to see many churches preaching only about how Jesus has come to the earth to save us and how the Lord would condemn all the bad or "evil" things in the world. It makes me very sad when I realize that if you really pay attention to the Bible and the story it tells us, Christ came to everyone; He met them where they were at and embraced them. I now see that to be a Christian means to love everyone. Accept them for who they are and where they are in their lives. All I know is now it doesn't matter to me if someone is churched, unchurched, a believer, non-believer, muslim, jew, etc. All I care about is loving them for who they are and where they are at in their life.

Okay. . that got a little more philosophical than I intended, but now it's all out in the open for all to see. That's who I am.

And just so you all know, I have found my designing Mojo and in the past few days, I have cranked out 4 kits. . . 3 Site Collaboration kits, and 1 designer collaboration kit. I'm so excited about them!! They are all super cute. I have one more site collab kit to get finished and my ET contribution for March, but I have all week.
