Amendment/Addendum

It was brought to my attention that in my late night ramblings a misconception was created. It is quite surprising how one word can create a storm of misjudgment of intended thoughts. Even more shocking to this simple writer is that people even tune in to her ramblings. This outlet was intended and will continue to be a vehicle for simply nothing more than a place to put the ramblings, and a place for extended family to catch up on the continuing misadventures of the little Mundy family.

I would like to Amend my statement of my stance in a previous post. I had mis-spoken (typed) my intentions. I am NOT pro-choice. And I have very strong personal convictions as to why I am not. However, with my ever present lack of sleep (and appropriate editing) I had said (typed) that I was pro-choice, when I am very much pro-life. Ah, semantics.... But fear not. I am not in support of ending a life for the sake of convenience to another.

My addendum is as follows. I still struggle with some of the pro-life organizations and their zero’d focus that is only on that of the unborn child. I struggle with the history of the church and it’s strong arm focus on social issues that come across as legalistic and full of judgment and condemnation. I have sat through conferences where I was told what coffee to buy, what brand of chicken to purchase, why I should not purchase any products that are imported from various countries due to their religious practices. Yet, there are lives affected with that choice. And what is being done to bring the love of Christ to them?

I am far from perfect and I have yet to meet someone face to face who was indeed perfect. We are all blemished, tarnished and unworthy. I am a sinner and I am fallible. But I also know that through my belief in Christ that I am awarded grace and mercy. That God knows my days from beginning to end and he knows that I am an emotional, strong willed, girl who often reacts based on emotion before reason. I don’t know why he created me this way. But, I do know that despite of myself, he loves me and guides me. He knows that my mouth (and fingers) are always 5-10 words ahead of my brain and I am in continual prayer that his muzzle is ready to humble me and reign me in. He loves this sinner despite her sins. I am thankful that grace does not keep a tally.

Romans 5:1-5
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
