Ok, first off, I admit. I am not good at this blogging thing. I so admire people who are. You all are amazing and I love to read your blogs. Christi, Kristen, especially yours. I love watching your kids grow, since I can not be close to them.
An update. First off, more changes. I am teaching Math. I love teaching and am so glad to be in front of a classroom again, but Math is taking some time to prepare out of class because I have never taught it before.
Each morning on the way to my school I pass a church (baptists or something like that). I like it because they have a sign that they put quotes on occassionally, it reminds me of driving through the towns at home. So many quotes.
theirs is and has been for a while "come as you are to worship". At first I read this as meaning that you could come dressed as you are, and I thought it a bit funny. Sunday best, not as you are. But the more I read it, the more different meanings have come to my mind. One I like in particular. "Come as you are..." A teaching of Christ. Church is NOT for those who are perfect. Church should not be a place we have to put on a face of pretentiousness. It is a place where we are accepted and loved just as we are. Imperfect! Christ doesn't want us to stay away because we don't feel as good as the others there. He doesn't even want us to spend the three hours of church pretending to be something we are not. He wants us to be there, just as we are.
so, I enjoy passing this sign. I enjoy feeling ok about me, just as I am. I will be there worshiping my savior, not hiding who I am, but showing him who I am, feeling accepted for who I am, loved for who I am, and then allowing him to work with what I am to help me become better.
My thought for the day. (or week or two, or until I write again)
