Cassandra…
Hey, there. I know I was a bit vague. Sorry about that. To clarify, the changes I meant were mostly in regard to the things I’ve been blogging about the past few months. I’m excited about God and what He’s doing for me. He’s changing who I am and how I think about myself. Some people have started to notice. There are some changes that, while not new for Chris and I, are new knowledge to others…such as the Bible version issue and music preferences. I mostly just meant the things I’ve tried to be transparent about on my blog. As far as the transition stuff, I’ll get to that in a future blog post. Rest assured, though, that we are not leaving our denomination, nor are we dropping any convictions that we have. Some standards that other people find important may change, just like the Bible version and music thing, but if it’s a Biblical standard that God puts on our hearts I can assure you that we are not going to drop it.

Debbie, thanks for the comment, and I appreciate your prayers. So much! I told Amy.

I’m not a bit worried about you as I know God will take care of you and I know you are a woman seeking after God’s own heart. I’m not sure how shedding a denomination would also shed standards and convictions cassandra? Perhaps those were all meant to be separate? I am Lutheran and certainly don’t think I’ve shed any standards or convictions by not being Baptist like my parents. Or Assemblies of God like my grandparents. Geez.

Praying for you in this time of transition. And tell Amy she and I are on the same network too. ha!

Just a few questions… Changes… such as? I will be frank…. Is it the shedding of standards, convictions, or denomination?(i.e. going non-Baptist?) Cause honestly, changes like that, well, they worry me. I have noticed, being in the ministry, that when people start making changes in that nature, their spiritual walk kind of takes a downward spiral. We start seeing less and less of them, and then, poof! They’re gone. Or, is it changes like, growing closer to God, realizing your place in his heart, etc??? Cause changes like that are great! No condemnation, I am just curious. Reading your blog over the past year or so, I have really come to know you, and I feel close to you, even though we have never met in person. You were really vague about the changes, so I am just curious. If you don’t want to disclose too much personal information, that’s fine. I’ll be anxiously awaiting your response if you do. = )
