just talking nonsense

Can you believe it? I have received 4 appreciation notes so far, it's only been 3 days. So today, at the end of the day I was scribbling thank you notes. If you haven't received one, patience, it's coming.

Anyway, while I was testing my sister for her history LPT, I came across this wonderful poem in Raquel's blog. Just like to share with you, and then answer the question below....

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I'm clean living'."
I'm whispering, "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow.

so the thing is when you say I'm a Christian
what are you thinking?

That's a really hard one! Hmm, I wish that when I say I'm a Christian I mean what's above, but sometimes it's not always true! When I say I'm a Christian, I mean this...

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I mean that I've accepted Christ into my heart,
and sometimes, I think I'm holier than you

When I say... "I am a Christian"
sometimes, I mean, that I am one
but sometimes I don't feel like I am one

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I wish that I could be like a above,
but after all, I'm not perfect
as a Christian is not

Well, today was an okay day. I mean nothing great about it. I had to ask Shabeta for a lot of help in my Science, and then after school, we stayed back for the magazine, and got angry, laughed, got upset, sad, and blah blah blah. We STILL haven't finished the front cover! LOL! Anyway, came back, lazed about and still am, when I'm suppose to be studying for a TEST! Oh well, better go!
