What kind of Christian are you?

This one took me a bit longer that usual to write because, honestly, I was struggling with what exactly TO write. I hope that in some way I get across my message and what exactly it is that I'm trying to say.

So, what kind of Christian am I?

Easy, right? Sure. I'm non denominational. There you go - that's what kind of Christian I am.

For some, answering with a quick "Methodist" or "Baptist" response would be easy. But for me, I couldn't just leave it at an answer so pre-thought, so easy in that moment when I knew I was being asked more - something on a much deeper level. 

This blog post goes way further than its title and what's even actually written here in this post. If you would like to hear the story of how this post came about, I would love to tell you in person, but it's just not something I'm going to post here!

When I was asked this, believe me, I didn't have a put together answer to this question. And I still don't have an all-put-together answer to this question, but here we go...

What kind of Christian am I?

I'm a sinner. I've fallen short of His glory. I'm far from perfect. Sometimes my life gets messy. I don't have it all together.

What kind of Christian am I?

I've been redeemed. He's adopted me as His daughter. I'm loved. He guides my steps. My trust is in Him.

What kind of Christian am I?

There's no way to sum up what "kind" of Christian I am because, let's be honest, is that what it's all about - putting labels on things?

What if we spent more time chasing after the one we are supposedly following - the one who I continue to fall more in love with every day. What if we stopped focusing so much on what "kind" of Christian we are and started to ask Him to see the world through His eyes? Because if we do that, we'll quickly discover that it's not about all the labels that we put on Christianity today. It's about relationship. It's about allowing Him to live through us. And it's about making His name known and proclaiming Jesus.
