Leviticus ...Such a great post filled with honesty. Leviticus made the book of Hebrews come to life for me....GOOD stuff! And yes...the church is made up of people...we are all messed up people in need of His grace..DAILY.. so we just gotta keep lovin each other and forgiving each other like Jesus has called us to do. Being a pastor's wife for 13 years now, I've seen the good, bad and the ugly. It's tough..real tough at times. I love your heart girl!...and you've inspired me with that 30 day shred!! So tickled for you and your abs getting back together!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494451145098557161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242221973037319776.post-36822294702054391122012-03-07T08:04:27.344-06:002012-03-07T08:04:27.344-06:00First of all- Shredding it?

I am taking a break from JIllian though, and have moved on to a Biggest Loser work-out. Ha. <br /><br />2nd of all- I love that you poured out your whole heart about your faith. And that you feel so strongly that God has all of the power. Such a true and strong testimony. Thank you for sharing your heart.Jenny https://www.blogger.com/profile/10076043522662731834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242221973037319776.post-55761620148242401622012-03-06T22:43:06.266-06:002012-03-06T22:43:06.266-06:00I just got done reading this for the third time.

W...girl, this is so real and I so appreciate that. We have been through lots of "church" junk in previous years as well. (to make a long story comment-length): about 4 years ago the Lord asked us to stop going to church (the institution) and to start just living life with people He put in our path...it was one of the hardest seasons we have been through because it was so different than how we were raised, and we received lots of judgement for it, especally from fellow believers...but He did it to show us what "church" really is. US. HIS BRIDE. HIS BODY. NOT a building or a program or a hierarchy. ahhh! anywho, I am seriously going to post about it all someday but its just a lot to write out and process. all that to say...I am confident that HE will meet you guys where you are. That He will provide community and fellowship if needed, and that HE will show you your true identity in HIM, apart from church junk. It's one of the best things I have ever learned.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292981329816076944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242221973037319776.post-58312877418925475822012-03-06T12:20:02.880-06:002012-03-06T12:20:02.880-06:00Laurie!

It is so disheartening to see Christ's bride suffer because of our nastiness. Thank you Jesus for speaking through you today!

I can't even put into words what this post has done for me. <br /><br />I too have had a lot of cynical thoughts on the church as I have been burned so many times but I choose to serve my Lord and Savior. He is my All in All and I want to serve Him fully. <br /><br />I want to give him all the glory. <br /><br />Thank you so much for this post. It truly touched my heart!mommatojoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955857317419452729noreply@blogger.com
