This was scribbled
one year ago today…
Being I only had one
bizarre comment on Google+ when it went live on my blog last year, I feel
perhaps, I should break this down a bit.
Let me back track, the comment was something to the effect that I have an
odd way of Christianity. I do!! (According to mainstream society)
Okay so I scribbled
this down while I was listening to Dave Matthews Crash CD. I like to, at times, give credit to what I am
listening to. Because I know these people and know they are good people worth
endorsing-No. Because, the Spirit moves in everything, and I mean everything.
Title: My Call
1st 4 lines/words = The holy (no pun intended,
okay maybe!) crap I am not worthy. To
the self-examination question--Shame?
2nd set of 7 lines/words = Rationalize,
justifying, the but it was because or they started it so I… To the self-examination question--Scared?
3rd set of 4 lines/words = THE Light coming
into the darkness. Feeling Grace.
4th set of 3 lines/words = False self to True
self. And that, friends, I am learning
should feel uncomfortable and a bit chaotic.
Dig Deep.
5th set of lines/words = Pretty easy to
understand--"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!"
6th and final line/word =
"Abnormality!" --NOT MAINSTREAM.
Not "normal" when I am often listened to…
Celibate. Sober.
My friends are older. Love of
Christian Discipline. I could go on and
on.
The exclamation point = I love being New Life
"Abnormal" [2 Corinthians
5:17]
And these calls from
God aren't just this one time, but every time I am called: it is good, even if some liminal spaces are
agonizing.
