Comments on: What Does it Mean to be Christian in a World Full of Christians? http://www.talesfromtheblackforest.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-christian-in-a-world-full-of-christians/ Israel and Dani Jernigans blog about their journey to Black Forest Academy (BFA), boarding school for missionary kids, in Kandern, Germany.

I love to read the words that God speaks through you! You are so right when you said, "my current lifestyle must change." These past few months for me personally and for the world have been about "change" and moving away from my[our] routine. In these moments of rest and transition my eyes seem to be getting wider and my view of who I "was" is being revealed. Just from truly seeking God I can honestly say that I have actually started to not only have a firmer foundation on what I believe, but living with that foundation daily has truly been an altering time. I am asking God to keep up the alterations, because what I was clothed in didn't fit. You and Dani are so wonderful! I love to read the words that God speaks through you!
