The following post is from one of my favorite writers in all of the Bloggernacle, Tracy M – who writes at her own blog (“Dandelion Mama”) and at By Common Consent. She is eloquent, profound, raw, honest – and heterodox in many ways. This post stunned me, as she often does. I think it should be required reading throughout the Church:
“Is There No Other Way?” (
http://bycommonconsent.com/2012/09/10/is-there-no-other-way/ Just two examples:
Quote:This grand mess we have is the best we have, and like my conversion, it’s a work in constant process. Learning to sort the culture from Gospel is what has allowed me, personally, despite (or because of?) myself and my discomfort, to figure out what the Gospel actually means to me. It is what allows me to call my testimony my own, and to know that it truly belongs to me. I know I’m not living on borrowed light, because no one has the same oil in her lamp as I do in mine. Her oil wouldn’t light my lamp.
Quote:He invites me to come unto Him. He invites me, me with my feminism, burgeoning intellectual single-mom status, in all my messy brokenness and ongoing breaking, which is neither greater nor less than yours, to come until Him.
It’s the only way.
Thank you Ray! Short & Profound! Quote:He invites me to come unto Him. He invites me, me with my feminism, burgeoning intellectual single-mom status, in all my messy brokenness and ongoing breaking, which is neither greater nor less than yours, to come until Him.
It’s the only way.
Worthy of framing IMHO. In fact, I think I will. thanks for sharing Ray. Often we can’t control who we are inside or our situations. But we can control how we react and learn to act in positive ways with our own unquie personality and come unto Christ with our “individual unquiness” and make his love and atonement “our own”.
I love this woman’s blogs and her perspectives! I am so grateful she is a member and has hung in there to contribute! Thanks Ray!
