What Kind of Christian are you?
By Darlene Quiring
Feeling a little desperate, I was wondering why God let me endure so much when this thought crossed my mind: Am I a fair weather Christian? If Im a fair weather Christian, perhaps I seem to believe and even honestly think I believe when all is well and then blame God and turn against Him when stormy or bad weather comes into my life. I dont think thats true of me in spite of my desperate moment.
There are, of course, Christians of the opposite kind of 
those that cling to a buoy in stormy weather but float carefree along in calm waters, caring not about their savior when all is well. You have probably heard about Christians like this. They say there are no atheists in foxholes. Sadly, for many years I was this type of Christian; but I think I have grown in Christianity over the years.
The third type of Christian is the kind I want to be and hope to be most of the time. This type is thankful for blessings and turns to God with thanks for all the good things in life. When things sour, they turn to God for direction and when God says, No they try to understand; and through all times and all disturbances, no matter what happens, they have the peace of the presence of the Lord in their lives.
