Who am i? most days i forget the true answer to that question. I titled this blogspot to remind myself of who i truly am! I often feel weighed down by my inadequacy, my sin, and the cares of life. But the Bible tells me truth! Because of Jesus i can know God! Because of Jesus, all my sins have been forgiven and i'm wearing His Righteousness! I don't have to measure up any more because Jesus is my advocate before the Holy Judge! I don't have to fear, because all my punishment was placed on HIM, My Jesus! and know i can have a relationship with The Father, because Jesus has bridged the gap that my sin created! Because of Jesus, God calls me forgiven! spotless! blameless! pure! free! greatly loved! blessed and highly favored! i am the Bride of Christ! And he is my Husband! I am a new creation! i have been purchased by the precious blood of Jesus! and therefore i AM justified! i AM sanctified! i AM glorified! I am filled with his Holy Spirit! i have a hope and a future! i am never alone! i am always better than i deserve! I have the mind of Christ and His strength is working mightily within me! All because of Jesus! the only God and Savior! whether i feel it or not.... truth is absolute!!!

Who are you, Cheryl? All my blogging buddies are commenting on your blog...did you formerly live in Cleveland?
hi autumn! yes! born and raised in parma! i met bek at BW and went to church at worldview b/c of her invitations then eventually to the ihop... where i was saved! 4 years ago! Bek and her fam REALLY loved me! i never felt judged for my skimpy clothes, lustfilled heart, cluelessness of Jesus, vanity, and ALL the rest! they really truly loved me and prayed for me and were bold to speak truth to me and invite me where i never would've gone on my own! through bek i met ang, amy, shae, and the rest of them and found REAL friendship for the first time in my life! and even though i acted as if i knew evrything about being a christian the day after i was saved, they still loved me, bearing with me graciously! But God's changing me! =)
about 7 months after i was saved i got married to my NAVY husband and was swept off to live in AZ for 3 years. Now we're in VA for the next 4-6 yrs....
who are you and how do you know everyone?
Hi Cheryl, I was born in Tucson, AZ, and I still have family there that we visit now and then. I grew up mostly in Arkansas and moved to Cleveland a little over 5 years ago to marry my husband Andy. I've been at the IHOP pretty much since the beginning, and we started going to Worldview in Feb '04. Andy and I are part of the "unofficial" young marrieds group. We have three kids who are just turned 4, 2, 1. I stay at home and will begin homeschooling our oldest this fall. My husband is one of the top artisans in this region. He does decorative painting (faux, murals, woodgrains, etc.) and is actually in New York right now having some talks with some of the top artisans in the world. I'm very proud of him! Anyway, too bad we didn't know cross paths sooner. I'm sure we would've been friends. :)
