Recovering from Legalism
Now that I actually sit down to write this I decide that I’m really not in the mood anymore.
It was all basically to say that sometimes I forget that I’ve moved away from “Christian legalism.” I forget that I used to live there. I forget that there are others around me that are saturated in it and expect me to live there with them. But I’m not going to. It’s not a part of me anymore.
I don’t even want to try and explain it to them because they won’t understand. They’ll see it as my ration for not “being in God’s will and being strictly obedient to God’s Word” as they think I should. I don’t like being questioned from others why I won’t do something “spiritual” and then being told it could be a sin issue in my life. I don’t think I could walk into work everyday and deal with that.
For now I’ll just accept it and keep quiet.
i wish we were in the same town…b/c we would SO be friends. you know…like the kind that actually visit and have coffee and talk about stuff like this….b/c i’m interested in what you have to say! i recently left that area as well.
