My Life As A Christian

I am not the kind of Christian I should be. I am not the kind of Christian I WANT to be. Nor am I the wife I would like to be.
Sometimes, when I get frustrated or something goes wrong in our family or home, I don't turn towards Christ first like I should, instead I get mad, upset, and just act childish. But, I am trying to change that. I am trying to become a better Christian, so I can be a better wife.

I didn't grow up in a Christian home, and I didn't really understand how to read the bible, pray, or even know how a Christian should act. I didn't dress or talk modestly, and I found myself in trouble, a lot more than I'd like to admit.
I first started going to youth group with one of my good friends my freshman year of highschool, but youth group didn't really help me understand or come to know the Lord. To me, youth group was always about being with friends and playing games. It wasn't until I met Jonathan that I fully understood how important it is to go to church, understand what it meant to be a Christian, and just let God come first in your life. It was through my husbands family that I learned how important it is to dress modestly, not just because it keeps "guys" from looking at you the wrong way, and assuming the worst about you, but because it shows that you have self respect and confidence. Since I started attending church I have changed in an abundance of ways, I no longer cuss, I dress way differently, and I am so much happier! It's amazing how just accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior can change your life so much!
