If you aren't informed as to how and what others believe, how can your certainty in your own faith and beliefs be maintained. The important part is to NOT forget what you believe just because someone you love, respect, admire feels different.<br /><br />I find its harder to even mention faith when you know you're with an unbeliever. Why do I worry that I'll offend them? I SHOULD, ya know. Otherwise, I might miss the only opportunity they'll ever have to hear the gospel.<br /><br />For me, I work with a friend who's Catholic (haha) and it's so different than my southern Baptist background. It's hard to understand to be honest. But we're great friends and really close. <br /><br />We're to be IN the world but not OF it. Just IN it. Be a shining light. <br /><br />NOVMoms SHOUT OUT! <br /><br />aholyexperience.com....Ann Voskamp.

At seventeen I entered a monastery--it was a lyrical, funny, raw, mystical experience--but I left during the uproar following Vatican two, married, had five children, and my faith was tested to it's limits during a time of horror that followed. My memoir, 'Graffiti On My Soul' has just been published, and one reviewer said of it: "It reads like an Agatha Christie novel, but the words are so beautiful they sound like music!" Read this book on a warm summer day, with your lovely children dancing around you, and share it with your friends. http://www.eloquentbooks.com/GraffitiOnMySoul.html JohannaJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344131835294131417noreply@blogger.com
