Scrambled Chicken Embryo's

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. 2Cor 6:14 ~Today's Daily Bread

yes, I know Yoke/Yolk totally different lol

Solomon associating with women who were not Christian led to him to follow other gods. The story holds valid points. It's important to surround yourself with other Christians for many reasons and I think a great reason is because you share your love of the one true God. Do not push away those who are not Christian or are "confused" about religion for we need to tell others the GOOD NEWS!

I was blessed to have always been surrounded by Christians. God found a way for many Christians to walk through my life and guide me towards His true Word. I can go back to when I was a child and tell you all the wonderful stories, but i'll just start with adulthood.

One of my first jobs was working at Church of The Master in Perrysburg. I was the nursery teacher. I loved my job, I even got a $1.00 raise every year! After a few years I began to have this urge to be part of the congregation. I would try to listen to the message but I was distracted by the children and I left work every day feeling empty, like something was missing or just not right. I ended up quitting the job so I would have time to go to church on Sundays.

I ended up hurting a few people when I quit which distracted me from feeding the desire to hear and understand God's Word. Seeking a deeper meaning to life, I strangely turned to Spiritualism. I learned how to read Tarot cards, I went to psychics, had a batch of worrymen all ready for my pillow and had a worry stone too! Oh yeah, don't forget my health/safety crystal that I couldn't leave without for it protected me when I was traveling and in case germs were comin' to get me sick.

My next job was the salvation army, which is a church. Lucky for me my position allowed me to sit in and listen to the kids devotions, this eventually led me to attend church there on Sundays. I loved it! The best part was Tracy. She led me to take a giant step towards trusting God by getting me to leave behind my "junk" and rely on prayer and God to get me to travel from Ohio to California...sounds ridiculous I know, but it was a step that she got me to take and I learned that trip to trust God with everything, not a silly stone.

Another person God surrounded me with was Pete. We sat one night while I was telling him about my mixup with Spiritualism and we talked about Tarot cards. It was a fun night. He laffed at me, I laffed at myself and we ended the night with him promising to help me understand God's Word and my promise to be open to it.

So, the point to this blog, definitely surround yourself with Christians like yourself, but also take every moment to share the love of Jesus with everyone you encounter.
