The final decision.

After throwing blog names back and forth, trying to find the perfect one for my new mom blog I’m planning on creating and hoping will become a profession, I’ve stumbled upon a thought that wouldn’t go away. At first I thought, “Nah, not everyone would be into that.” But it kept nagging at me as if I had no other choice. Then I gave that little thought some attention and realized it was a great idea, not because everyone will like it, but because it’s important to me and I would love to go in that direction.

My new blog will be a Christian mom blog. Still the same idea (Mom discussions, Ideas, Advice, Questions, etc.) but with Christian beliefs thrown into the mix. Not that I need to give an explanation for my decisions, but I find that when I explain my decisions, it helps people understand my point of view and finds a relative ground. So, this is why I’m making a Christian mom blog:

1. Being a Christian Is very important to me, especially as a mother.
2. My Christian beliefs have gotten me through my entire motherhood, good times, bad times, depression, stress, feeling helpless, etc.
3. It’d be awesome to uplift other mothers with not only advice, and friendship, but also the word of God.

I know this is the right direction for me to go in because I feel no desire to do just a regular mom blog. I’m going full force with this Christian mom blog idea and I’m feeling VERY positive. I know not everyone will agree with this, because not everyone is pro Jesus, but everyone, no matter what you believe, is welcome to read and enjoy my mom blog.

I hope you will all still read and follow my soon-to-come mom blog and find in it a welcoming, informative, and seriously awesome mom circle. 🙂

For those of you who celebrate it for it’s intended purpose….

HAPPY EASTER.

 

“The great gift of Easter is hope – Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.”
–Basil Hume

Let’s give a big shout out to Jesus Christ for giving us undeserving losers the gift of salvation.

Just callin’ it how I see ’em.

With the up coming holiday (Easter), Something has been weighing on my mind that’s quite frustrating. And as usual, I’m going to say it to all of you; 

It boggles my mind that everyone hates Christians, yet ya’ll wanna hijack our holidays. You do know Christmas and Easter are CHRISTIAN holidays, right? So, you decide to celebrate them, turn them into your own, diminishing the integrity of them and the meaning they hold for us.

You talk lowly of us, and despise our beliefs, but you want to do the stuff we get to? And you think you’re in some way better than us? If being a hypocritical crumb snatcher is better, I guess you are.

I suppose I shouldn’t let such ignorance get to me. “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.  If they persecuted me, they will persecute you.” John 15:18-20

At the end of the day (end of our life), we only answer for ourselves. If you’re cool with standing before God with everything you throw at us Christians/Jews, then by all means, carry on. 

I know most people will say, “There is no God, so I don’t care about what I say or do”. What a stupid thing to believe. It’s actually laughable. One of the best quotes I’ve ever read was by Albert Camus. He said,

“I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t and die to find out there is.” 

How people don’t see things this way, I don’t understand. But, like I said, we only answer for ourselves. 

I kind of don’t even care about people not sharing my beliefs, I just can’t stand being disrespected. Everyone shouts and riots for equality and religious freedom. We all agree that racism is wrong. Everyone wants Gays to have the right of marriage. But us Christians are hardly allowed to speak our beliefs out loud without 90% of the population lashing out at us. 

Yes, I agree, a lot of Christians go about things wrongly and don’t do justice to us or Christ. But to judge and hate us all because a few Christians have the wrong idea? Does that sound right to you? Didn’t think so.

I know it openly says in the Bible that Christians will be persecuted for our beliefs. It is what it is. But I’m not the kind of Christian to keep my mouth shut about it. I’ve always said what’s on my mind, with everything, including my beliefs, and to whoever needs to hear it. I say what needs to be said. And this is something that needs to be said. 

Conclusion: Be an Atheist, I don’t care. But don’t you dare disrespect me and my beliefs, then take our holidays and turn them into your own meaningless celebration. 

 

Keep on keepin’ on in the silent years.

This sermon REALLY spoke to me today. And I’m sure it would speak to anyone. I hope you’ll watch it and be inspired.
