| What does it feel like to be a Christian? |
| At times, it feels like you're treading water, barely able to keep your head above the circumstances that threaten to pull you down. It feels like wanting to give up, but you keep going because you want God like you want your next breath. |


| It feels like having an enemy that's too big... Other people laugh at your struggle as you fight against an enemy invisible to the world...invisible, but very real. He hits hard and you don't give up because you know the destruction he is capable of causing. |
| It feels like a constant struggle to remember your identity and your true value. It's saying, "I'm important to God" when the world says you're disposable. |

| It feels like being a soldier. There are moments of great triumph when you feel you're truly a part of advancing the kingdom of God. However, this is not the only emotion that Christians feel. There are also those times when you fight just to stay at your post. |

| It feels like your life is not your own and that someone's else's hand is guiding your every move. |
| Because at the end of the day, there's nothing better than feeling safe...even in the midst of incredibly tough circumstances. It feels like you really belong to someone... someone who wants you close beside him. Knowing this makes the life worthwhile... and that's what being a Christian really feels like. |
| You should be asking...why would someone choose this life? |
| It feels uncomfortable when you are placed in situations which you feel are not your area of expertise. The potential for embarrassment is quite high. |

| It feels like having to depend on other people who are pretty much in the same situation you are. |

| It feels like you're free falling... and only at the last possible minute does your parachute open. It feels like never knowing where or when you'll land. |

| It feels like more adventure than you ever thought possible... being taken to the exact place you never wanted to go. |
