I LOVE Jesus, I have blue hair, I sport glitter eyebrows, and I have 2 to three colors in my wardrobe. I'm a stylist/salon owner, a wife, a mother, a friend, and last but certainly not least- a fisher of men with a heart for the ONE. I'm blessed to belong to a wonderful, faithful church family where all I have to do is get people in the door, and my pastor and his wife point them straight to Jesus. They make that part of my job easy.
I love going to and growing my local church, but I know the Gospel NEEDS to be shared beyond city limits. I'm doing my best to be obedient and help people not only find salvation, but continually grow a relationship with Jesus.
I've often felt like a black sheep in my life. But when I became a believer, and really started to read the Bible and hear God's voice, it became clear that despite me feeling like a "black sheep", I was HIS sheep; the ONE He was always pursuing. Recklessly persuing. It didn't matter what color sheep I thought I was, or how far (and how often) I wandered off:
There is only ONE Shepherd. There is only ONE flock. And as believers, it's OUR flock.
We are never too far from the Father. I remind myself often that I am the one he leaves the 99 for. That's also true for you, friend.
You are the ONE He left the 99 for. Welcome to the flock. xo em
