There is no doubt a code of conduct for a Christian, but it is so wonderful to know that God didn't want us to get so caught up in it that we lost our ability to relate to others and Himself. What I loved about religion as a child, was the comfort of knowing what was expected of me. I loved knowing that if I was good, I would have good things happen to me. Now that I've grown (Way more than I should ever have) and am maturing (way slower than I should be) I am learning that things do not always work out the way you think they should, even if you some-how are able to live up to that code of conduct. As an adult (and I use that term loosely) I have learned that God isn't a magic gienie that gives out wishes to good little kids. He isn't Santa Clause or the wizard of Oz. He isn't a good witch or bad wizzard. He is a loving Father who lets us make choices, and learn from them. He is a comfort in time of sorrow, and from time to time will rescue us when we fail to serve His purpose, giving us mercy and grace to try again. Whenever I think about all the wrong directions my choices have taken me, I am comforted to know that He has been working the whole time to redirect me and set me on the path that leads back to Him. He knows everything there is to know about my life, and where it fits into His creation. No matter how far I run from Him, or how lost I get trying to find Him, He is always there waiting for me. The mission trip to Costa Rica was my daughter's idea, and I went along to protect her since she is only 14. I see now, that it was more of an exercise God had planned for me to learn how to let go and trust Him. When she backed out of the trip and announced she was leaving my home for her father's, I was devastated and afraid. I don't know what will happen, but, thanks to our time together in a place where I had no control, and no hope other than God to get me through, I feel strong enough to get through this next step. I praise God for the relationship He allows through the Christian religion. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ that allows me to come to the Father, allows me to accept peace that passes understanding and grace to forgive myself for the mistakes I have made. Thank you for sharing your ministry with myself and others. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to help more people come to a place of relationship, rather than rules and regulations. Thank you for helping me to let go and trust in that relationship. God bless you and your ministry. Love, Heather Douthit I love having relationship rather than rules!
