This has been on my mind for a while now and I think it deserves to be said and why not by the one girl who has little to no filter. Yes it is true, the girl who curses like a sailor and drinks Jack Daniels on a semi-regular basis is a Christian and has a relationship with God so strong it’s stronger than the drinks she makes. Here’s the thing about faith. I understand that everyone’s views are different and everyone is entitled to their own opinions but to me; I think that my walk with God is really not anyone else’s damn business. And that’s the straight up truth. I think that more and more people feel like it’s okay to talk about what your preferences are. Whether it’s about sex, faith, alcohol, or political views. Suddenly more people think they know more about me than I do.

And while I’m at it, just a quick side note. Cursing doesn’t make me any less of a fucking lady than anything else does. Sure, I’m not going to greet the President of my company with a, “Hi how the hell are you sir?” But that’s mainly because I choose to remain professional not because it makes me less of a lady.

Now, back on track. My walk with God is personal. It always has been. I cannot find in my memory a memory of my family and I going to church as a group. It just wasn’t something we did. It wasn’t until I was older I began going with friends to various churches like Baptist, Catholic, and even a few non-denominational churches. And it wasn’t until I graduated high-school and was dating my now husband that I realized that my faith is not decided based on what label I or anyone else put on it. It was not decided based on how often I went to church or said the word shit. Which is often if today is a Monday but that’s neither here nor there. But more about how I felt connected to God and realized that Jesus died for my sins and no matter the sin as long as I am washed in the blood and know who my savior is then I will be saved and will join him one day and given my wings at the pearly gates. I am comfortable and confident in that fact and would be more than happy to stand up and say so.

However, my husband enlightened me to the fact that this topic may be a little “over the top” so to those I have offended I apologize. I found myself having to answer for my choices recently and it got my blood boiling so I felt the need to say something. The main point I wanted to get across is that my walk with God and my vocabulary have little to do with one another. I can still be a Christian, strong in my faith, and use a little colorful language every now and then.
