WHEN I SAY, "I AM A CHRISTIAN"
By Carol S. Wimmer
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I am saved!"
I'm whispering, "I was lost"
"That's why I chose His way"
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble
Needing God to be my guide
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak
And pray for strength to carry on
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
Asking humbly to be taught
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are all too visible
But God believes I'm worth it
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I seek His name
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I'm loved

From the Guest Book!
HeartTouchers has been a total blessing to me. I look so forward every morning waking up to the loving stories, prayer requests, thoughts for today, and even once in a while seeing something there with my name on it. It's exciting receiving email from people, letting you know they prayed for you today. That's a blessing in it's self. It makes you feel you have a new family out there. I love what Michael and Kristi have done with all of this. Thank you so much.

Video Imagery --Michael's Video Production Business
Dear Michael,
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the beautiful video you made for me! It was so special to see both of my parents in tears as they watched their children grow up in pictures before their eyes! I loved the way you made Estania's part set aside from the rest--that was the part that really got them! The music was beautiful. My mom kept blubbering, "What song is that?" I don't know how you did such a beautiful job with the video in such a short time. I really appreciate your doing it so quickly. You have a wonderful gift, and I thank God that you are using it to create such sentimental memories. I hope that I can find my niche like that in an area that I love. Your video gave us one of our most lasting Christmas memories! I hope yours was filled with moments to be treasured forever!
Love,
Trisha
