Ephiphany Friday

I am so grateful that my work week is over! Never in my life have I even been so excited for the weekend, well actually Friday. This week in the office has been crazy. Work is piling up, but not because we are behind or slacking, but because this month alone there has been an increase of sponsorships. So, we are adjusting and working as a team.

For those who do not know, I work in Downtown Phoenix. Every Friday near my job there is a Food Truck event. For a few weeks now my office mates have said they would like to go, but each week something comes up, and we don't go. This Friday, I was going, end of story. Some eventually backed out, but I didn't go alone, and enjoyed it.

Since our group was small, three people, it gave each of us a better opportunity to get to know more about one another. Inquires of current life situation, marriage, and of course, food see to be the main topics. The first two are hard for me to share, especially Jason and I's current situation. One, when asked, elaborated on how she met her husband, including the first time she saw him. It was sweet, honest and storybook. "It was straight lust," followed by laughter, "I wasn't a Christian at the time." I often forget that those around me, though my organization is a Christ-Centered one, that some people were not saved until Adulthood, such as my husband. Made me think of my life, if I never accepted Christ that night at a youth rally. Where would I be? Certainly not where I am now.

Then the phrase, "I have done such worse things as a Christian, than when I wasn't saved," presented itself into our conversations. And I realized how true that is for most people. But why? Is it because we, as Christians, while trying to walk with Christ, we are more receptive to our Sin? I think that is part of it, but if we are more receptive, they why does it seem that sin plagues our lives more? I know, I'm over thinking it, but basically, I am saved, "We have Grace," and it is my relationship with Christ that matters, not my faults. I'm only 28, human, and walking with God. I'm not perfect, nor will I ever be on this side of heaven.

I'm not sure where I was going with this entry. Maybe nowhere except affirming my faith and love of God/Christ, and that I am loved unconditionally no matter what I do.
