I AM NOT ASHAMED
I love my Sunday blog post’s and I love sharing my journey as a Christian. But, it has not always been an easy task for me to do. While I always believed in the Lord and the gospel, I was not one to talk openly about my faith. I considered it private and I didn’t feel comfortable sharing.
When I started my blog I never would do a post on Sunday. I thought that I shouldn’t since it was the day of rest. I was going to be like Chick-Fil-A and be closed on Sundays. However, for a reason that I can’t explain, I felt the need to do an inspirational/religious post. You can not even begin to understand how out of my comfort zone this was.
I am not a scholar, I am just trying to be closer to the Lord. I cannot quote scriptures, and I would never try to preach to anyone. Sharing my journey, my struggles, and my thoughts was never intended to be a part of this blog. In fact, I get more negative feedback about my Sunday posts than any post that I do. Sometimes, those comments are sent to me by email, so I never share those with you, but there are times when a comment is left on the blog.
I would be lying if I didn’t say that there have been times when I thought about not posting on Sundays; it would be so much easier on me. Having someone tell you that they don’t want their fashion blogger “preaching” to them can be hurtful. I will usually call my sister and cry to her, then shake it off and do it all over again the next week.
I have to keep reminding myself that the devil will use every tactic possible to keep anyone from sharing the Lord’s work is what keeps me going. Today’s devotional was on Luke 9 and even though it was not about this verse, this is what spoke to me.
Luke 9:26
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
I am not ashamed of the Lord! I can only pray that He is not ashamed of me and that when my time comes to be before Him, He will have mercy on me.
So, for those who love fashion and only want to see clothing, check out my blog Monday through Saturday. And for those who are also struggling with their journey with the Lord and want some inspiration and companionship, continue to come back each Sunday. The devil is just going to have to get over it because I am not quitting. I AM NOT ASHAMED!
Have A Blessed Sunday!
Thank you for expressing what I too struggle with in claiming publicly! For those that aren’t happy about your Sunday posts, they don’t realize this IS who you are and they have a choice to accept you or not. You don’t need to change their minds on who you are. It is up to them to make a decision. Praising God for YOU! Blessed by You!
Keep writing these Sunday posts! A true inspiration for me to be brave and share my faith with others! Share even if when it doesn’t feel comfortable!
I love this SO much. THANK YOU for sharing your faith in Christ, it is strengthening mine. It really can be so hard sometimes to overcome the opposition surrounding sharing the most important message of our lives. Thank you for having the courage to overcome that opposition. I am awed, inspired and humbled.
Thank you, Rachel. I am flawed and not the most learned when it comes to the Bible. But, Jesus can still use me, and you also.
Thank you for being willing to stand up for your faith and a risen Lord! I am not ashamed!
Bless you for your honesty and your devotion! You help the rest of us be braver.
Thanks!
Tania, your Sunday posts are an inspiration ! Never let anyone persuade you differently. Life is about loving and caring for one another and going that extra mile to ensure help among others. The link you provided for Lauren Talley led me to a Blessing to behold ! She and her family are wonderful !
You nailed it!!! Thanks so much for sharing ! Satan is the accuser and he will use anything to stop a believer from sharing the good news, even a fashion blog/ I am not ashamed!!! God bless and keep sharing your faith ??
I’m glad you’re not quitting your devotional blogs on Sunday. Good for you that you’re not letting the devil have his way! I appreciate the Sunday blog and am so encouraged by it so thank you for doing the Lirds work. Enjoy your every day posts as well.
Amen Sister! I admire you for sharing your faith. I am a Christian but like you in the past, I struggle to share my feelings. Keep up the good work!
