Here in the past few weeks I have had a chance to be around my parents and sister and her family and not thinking about it ,(because I have embraced my new way of living ), I have been wearing my Tzitzit and they have just started snubbing me and calling me weird and so on! I was raised in the Church of Christ and I am so glad that I have a foundation in knowing who my maker is and that he sent his son to die for our sin! Anywho, my dad called me over the other day and we were having coffee and out of nowhere he says , " Nicole, I am worried about your soul and just goes on attack mode about how this is not about who is better than the other and scared for my salvation , mind you I haven't spoke about any of this with them except for wearing my Tzitzit and saying it is what we are called to do and that I am starting to learn alot of things I never knew or was taught, but you would think I had turned my life over to Satan đ. I never talked back or raised my voice to my father thru this because I respect and honor my mother and father , so I just simply said , It's all in the Scriptures. I am losing my family very fast Including my sister whom I just started having a connection with in the past year , my heart hurts and All I can do is continue to pray. Also I live on her property and in her other home that she was gracious enough to let me and my kiddos live in after finally taking a stand against a verbally abusive Narcissist and got my babies out of that. Now I fear she any day now that I am going to be asked to move out , with nowhere to go .
Sorry for the length of this just needed to get it off my chest and ask everyone to please lift me and my kids up to the Almighty đ Thank you
Stay strong in the faith!
Although I don't get all the nuances of the Messianic journey, I was raised independent Baptist but have had various influences from many denominations in my faith walk. Messianic friends and mentors have left a huge impact on my thinking and faith. Not everyone will get it and I'm sorry it's with your family, but don't discount your family in Yeshua!
Peace & Blessings,
may God's face shine upon you
and give you comfort!
Thank you!
i'm not a torah observer myself but as i always say go big or go home. if this is really how you want to worship and live then do it and don't look back. if you do get evicted based on religious preference there are avenues of relief for that through a lawyer.
