The purpose in this post is more meaningful to me than it may be to some of you.. I have a tendency need to write out my thoughts or they get all jumbled up in my head and lost somewhere in my brain. Some of these thoughts I speak of are very important ones - like the one I am brainstorming on today. This is something I want to find a way to say to my church family someday. As for now, only one member of that family will read this... a lady who is becoming a very dear friend of mine - a beautiful girl who God has placed in my life.
As I continue to grow in my faith, I continue to realize new things. One realization I have come to is that I am in a very controversial situation - raising a child as a single parent. Many christians look down on people like me. Fortunately, the Lord has graced me. He has placed my family in a church of loving people who have accepted me despite the sin I have incurred. Rather than turning their heads to us, they have welcomed my daughter and I, making us feel so very loved. Each family has even given gifts to celebrate her life. I am in awe of how wonderful our Creator is and how much he loves a sinner like me. I am forever thankful to my church family - even more so to my Father.

What a sweet post, Courtney! When I read it last night when I got home I cried. God is gracious to each of us. I heard a pastor say this week when God buries our sins in the depths of the sea He puts up a "No Fishing" sign. :) When God forgives we can't go back and keep holding it over peoples heads.
Rhonda left a great post Courtney. I'm so glad you see her as so dear to you. I hope God continues to grow your friendship with her and other believers. But especially your relationship with His Son. I love you, Mom
