Am I a Christian?

Am I a Christian? 

 I guess, I have never technically looked up the word.  So I looked it up on Wikipedia.  Not a lot of help, but basically it is people who believe in Christ.  There was more to it but it was over my head.  So technically I would be a Christian.

But for some reason, I don't feel its the right word for me.  Its a good word and God probably likes it, but I don't feel it describes me and what I believe my relationship with God is.  I think I have a problem with it being a categorizing word.  It is a group of people who love and believe in the awesome Christ.  That includes me, but I have my own unique relationship with God.

I have always felt awkward with saying I am a Christian.  It is not because I am ashamed or embarrassed.  I love God and I will shout that to the world.    To me saying I am a Christian puts more of an emphasis on me and what I am claiming to be.  It does not matter what I claim to be, I am only what God says I am. 

I went to a Christian Woman's workshop and it was very good, but I could feel myself cringe every time they would refer to a speaker as a beautiful Christian woman.  I'm Not saying that they were not Christian women who loved God.  I just feel like the saying "I am a Christian" is sometimes used to impress instead of humbly proclaiming to serve God.  Maybe that is what my problem with the claim.  Claiming that your a Christian should not make you proud, it should make you humble. 

I am a humble child of a Heavenly Father that loves me with unconditional love,  a Father that has shown me love even when I am unworthy, a Father that I love with my entire soul and will forever be his.

I don't know if I will ever feel right about saying I am a Christian. 

I am His child and He is my Father.  What I am, is whatever He needs me to be.
