Perspective
Hey dudes and dudettes! How are ya'll?
How has your week been?
Mine has been up and down I guess all week. So difficult and I'm finding it really hard to be the only committed Christian in my group. I have to be so careful in the way I react to things and I've been so close to tears this week. I feel continuelly judged. I can't be grumpy without being accused of being rude or not being a good christian or being arguementitive! It's like I'm being controlled by my peers and not God. I mean I do love my friends it would just be nice to have someone I can really count on who is perhaps stronger in their faith than I am or going through the same thing! I miss Sara! And I'm pretty jealous of you baby coz you have a nice wee network of Christian friends in Down High! *jealously strikes* lol!! So this weekend I have planned to plug into God and really listen to him for guidance. I'm planning to go to mannafest 2morrow night and then I have to do something on Sunday night...Lol....i shall get something planned. Coz I opted out of going to the Beach Club on Sunday night....i mean yea I'm going to go 2 a club where drinks are £2 and is ID only (therefore my friends are taking fake ones!) and on a Sunday night- I don't think so!Lol.
So today I did have a little perspective in my view of christianity. It is hard work. All over the world. But it is the only faith that I've seen that even though you can be at the lowest point in your life...you can still feel a glimmer of hope and your able to smile through your tears. We had a talk in R.S today from Open Doors. This wasn't the 1st talk I'd heard from these guys but I was only 12/13 the last time I heard it and I'm sure it was toned down a lot back then. It was horrific to hear of the stories of tradgeys! I found it so hard to go back to normal classes and a normal day again! I actually felt unwell. I just can't believe that I can be loved the same amount as the people in places such as North Korea,China,Indonesia etc who are being tortured for their faith and not recanting. I am going to find it difficult I think to write this essay!Lol. In light of this I'm so glad that I decided to go to Czech this summer. It means I can finally do something for God rather than just talking about it! It's going to be filled with challenges but that's the only way I'll grow! Me and my friend Sarah (Wilson) are team evangelists now...lol she is going to Kenya in summe too. Shes amazing!
If you guys get the chance then check out the link for this post. Its a video clip that I seen this week at Newtownbreada Baptist and I thought it was pretty cool! It's about the power of forgiveness.
Well guys I'm going to head on coz its actually 22.43 at the mo coz I ended up calling Sara in the middle of typing to discuss this weeks events. Lol! Love it! Well have a great week guys and don't give the postman too much bother with all those cards you're going to get this week!I hate Valentines...but it's just coz I'm bitter in that whole area! Lol!
