Right now, on this day, and in this moment, I cling to the truth that I belong to Christ.
I belong to the living God.
He holds me.
He cherishes me.
He loves me with a passion and with a relentless love that transcends time and space.
I believe this so completely, I feel this so forcefully, that I find myself wondering how I can even begin know these things with such certainty.
Is it possible that after 7 years of attending an evangelical church, I have finally become a brain washed Christian, thoroughly and completely indoctrinated in the teachings of the church?
Or is the reality of my life in Christ breaking through in some new and profound way?
I suppose the answer to that question depends upon which side of the spiritual fence you either sit or reside.
Me?
I'm straddling the fence itself and because Christ is with me, I have all the grace and balance of an Olympic gymnast on the balance beam.
There is still residual grief over my mother's death and new life challenges have arisen for me this past week; but I cannot contain this quiet joy I feel inside and so, instead of crying, I do back flips with Jesus!

i feel this way right now. thank you for writing it so truthfully. im afraid i have become a brainwashed christian who is just supposed to believe and not quesiton - but i cant! im full of quesitons. full of why? how? when? so thank you. thank you for reminding me that as long as He is with me (which sometimes is a fight for me to even believe that these days) then im fine. i dont need to worry as much and think i need to pick a side. as long as im going somewhere, im all good. so thanks again - you speak the truth.
