In the closet. On the down low. Undercover. When most people hear these terms, homosexuals come to mind. When I hear them, I think of myself. Why? Of course I'll share.
This week I challenged myself to return to work with an attitude Christ could be pleased with. It hasn't been easy. There has been so much drama lately, that I dread going in the door. Honestly, some days I've had to talk to myself and say,"shut-up" a lot.
So today, I thought, " If I am a representative of Christ on this earth, is that a plus or a minus? Or would He be better off if no one knew? If I stayed in the closet?" The thought was startling. I remember deciding years ago that I could never have a Jesus fish on my car, because I suffered with a bit of road rage!
All day I've been wondering about whether or not I should be undercover. When people know you're a Christian, they expect things. Often they expect unrealistic things. Perfection. It feels like they want to catch you doing wrong. So today, I want to "come out." I want to live in a way that I can be proud of. More importantly, I want God to be proud that I'm His. Please pray with me.
Rubies are rare and precious jewels. Every facet is unique. When they are broken, they can only be restored by the Creator.

You always have a positive attitude! You are sometimes the only positive thing at work! I just hope that I can have an attitude that Christ can be pleased with also. It's much easier for me since I am not in the middle of the drama like you. Sorry you have do deal with everything. I am praying things can get better.
Thank you. I try, but I know I've been failing a lot lately. Things have to get better! We can pray together!
Absolutely we can pray together!!
