I had a little chat with my mom the other day. The subject of God came up. Sometimes I know my mom worries about my soul. Every once in a while I have to remind her I'm okay. I may not be in church every Sunday, or any Sunday for the past four years. (I did go once with Mindy when I visited Colorado in 2008.) Despite my absence record in church, my faith has never been shaken.

I don't quote scripture to anyone, not because I'm ashamed, I just don't memorize anything. I'm not afraid to share a scripture, but I would be embarrassed if I got the scripture wrong in my attempt to encourage someone. I make it very clear to whom ever I am talking to that I am not religious. Make all the jokes you want, but I have a relationship with the Lord. I once made a very public and in writing statement about something the Lord did for me. Man did that come back to bite me. I actually had more than one person ask me if I was in a cult as a result of that letter. The awkwardness I felt after that letter most certainly kept me from sharing on such a large scale again. Well, except now. BUT, my faith stayed the same.

I fail God everyday, He NEVER fails me.

The way I let people know He's real is by telling the awesome things He has done for me. Trusting the Lord doesn't mean you will always have a good outcome to a bad situation, it just means you will make it through that bad situation.

I know God is real because my parents are still married.
My parents are celebrating 35 years of marriage on September 17, 2012.
Hip hip hooray for your folks! Great post Jess! Love you!
