The More I Study...

The more I delve into and study the word of God, the more I realize how deeply ingrained the law (some call it tradition) is in me.  I do not want to be there mind you,  I want the freedom of grace.  But I am stuck with that check list to mark off, I am stuck with what others think of me.  God is freeing me, but I hold on to what I know.  

I am thankful that there are churches out there, who are not stuck in tradition (law), that preach the word of God; of His love.  I am thankful that God has led me to such a church http://www.calvarystapleton.org.  I know that there are some, even in my own family, who will say  I am being led astray by this, but I know that this is from the Holy Spirit and I am willing to follow.  I am thankful that God loves me and is patient with my learning.  I am thankful that I have friends who encourage me.
