Being A Cowgirl Of Faith

The term "Cowgirl Of Faith" may not be understood by all my readers, so today I'll explain what I believe it means to be a cowgirl of faith.

Not every cowgirl is a cowgirl of faith. Being a cowgirl of faith has nothing to do with working on a ranch, competing in rodeos, working someplace like the Fort Worth Stockyards or any other job she might have. Just believing in a Higher Power - or even believing in God - doesn't make her a cowgirl of faith.

Being a cowgirl of faith has one more vital part to it. A cowgirl of faith has a relationship with Jesus Christ. She doesn't need to refer to herself as part of any particular Christian tradition. She can identify herself as a disciple of Jesus Christ, a Christ-follower, a Christian or whatever term she chooses to use to identify herself with Jesus Christ. This doesn't mean she's perfect or that she always reflects Christ in everything she does. But is she is drawing closer to Him and working toward walking more and more the way He wants her to walk.

As Dale Evans Rogers said, "Cowgirls take stands."  The most important stand a cowgirl of faith takes is to acknowledge Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.

This cowgirl of faith is not afraid to take a stand for Jesus. I won't obey Him perfectly this side of heaven. But I'm going to keep holding His hand and following where He leads, whether it makes sense to anybody else (friends and family included) or not.

A cowgirl of faith is the best kind of cowgirl to be!
