I believe that people that can be insecure with their faith, and that can drive them to share too aggressively or even force their beliefs on others. I personally believe I can worship anywhere - in traffic or even the shower. It is my connection to Gad that is important, not the show I create while worshipping. My husband has the most incredible faith. He has really brought me closer to God by showing me that the road can be rough, even terrifying and exhausting, but the bad times do not mean that God has abandoned be - rather the opposite. I once asked him what I had done that made GOd angy benough with me to make things so incredibly hard and heatbreaking. He wrapped his arms around me and said he would never let his sadness or angry let him lose sight of one things - God hard to work outageously hard to get us where we were that day. We had each other and an amazing family. The road had been confusing, gut-wrenching, and even terrifying, but look where it brought us - to each other and a love that is unshakable.<br /><br />The blessings that we receive are frequently not the blessings we expect or wish for, but they often turn out to be the greatest gift we can ever imagine. I never expected to have an autistic daughter, but she is a miracle - one greater than I could ever imagine or dare to hope. Often, people express pity, but I cannot imagine my life without her. She couldn't be a burden if she applied every ounce of effort she had available. Each of my children are the most incredible of gifts. <br /><br />Keeping God in my heart is something that I do quietly, and with peace, although I understand why many feel the need to share. I only hope that they remember that a love expressed at max volume in a shopping mall is no greater than one shared in pajamas before bedtime.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I love to hear what goes on in the heads if people I hold dear!Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510066661301277996.post-49878425954276279502010-08-25T23:26:48.055-05:002010-08-25T23:26:48.055-05:00We were talking about that at Sunday school this w...We were talking about that at Sunday school this week.

I prefer to that way to talk about Christianity, or God or Jesus... Thanks for sharing the inspiration!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
