Faithfully Lupe

I wonder….where do you (reading this) find yourself in life right now with your faith?

Are you hardcore like “yes, honk for Jesus!”

Are you all day, everyday churchin?

Are you like “mmmmm church would burn down when I walk in?”

Are you thinking “I’m a little lost, I don’t know if I believe or not”

Wherever you are, it’s ok. Yeah it is! I think all of us have our journey mapped out. How we choose to navigate it & at what pace is entirely up to us!

My journey is a lot of ups & downs, highs & lows! I’ve honestly been all of the above. Even when I have been at my furthest from God, I know that He has been by my side. It’s ME who has been like hands over my ears “la, la, la….I don’t wanna hear it.” And sometimes glancing far off in the distant seeing a hand reaching for me. No not literally but that’s how I imagine Jesus is waiting for me.

Nothing in the life has been achieved without trusting Him. There have been countless times where I have wondered “how am I going to do this? I don’t know what to do.” But with prayer I have made it through.

Coming from a culture of going to church every Sunday and if you miss a Sunday that’s 10 Hail Mary’s for you! It was easy for me to condemn myself as being an unforgivable sinner. But who are we to judge ourselves and say what God will and wont forgive.

When we ask for His forgiveness with a genuine and true heart, He forgives, with or with out the 20 “Padre Nuestros.” Oh dont get it twisted, I do pray those but I dont punish myself if I did or didn’t do something that was in a rule book somewhere. I am a believer or Jesus and that to me, is what God wants.

I truly hope that you find yourself believing. Even when its hard. I hope that you know you’re loved and worthy and dont need to follow anybody else’s rule book for your faith.

Here to testify, faithfully and unfaithfully and imperfect y bien pecadora.

Love always,
Lupe
