In here I'm going to post a long list of things. Mainly it's going to be information about what's going on in the world today, pictures, links, people of God, and other interesting things I can get my hands on.
I want to say sorry to all those who have waited for so long, I really didn't know how to begin this thread and have thought about it for months on what I should write, share and do with it.
Let me just jump into it and get started.
I'm going to start off with this, what does it mean to be a Christian in today's world?
First off, you're going to have a bit of a rough time. Not to say that non-Christians don't have it rough because let me tell you, everyone does in this life I don't care how rich you are or how good you think you have it, everyone struggles with something.
I think some of our own personal struggles with being Christian is, it's an on going spiritual battle. It's hard for us to talk about God at times, people laugh at us, call us crazy, stupid, weak, or just ignore and shun you for having what they call an "Imaginary friend" it can be a problem with young people especially.
I have news for you though, it's okay. Suck it up, because no matter what you do some people out there are going to have their own opinion about yours, and you personally and that's fine. There is always going to be a thorn, or a large rock in your path. Pick out the thorn or climb over the rock. Life is too short to live it for other people and what they think about you. Remember that you as a Christian are the light of the world.
Matthew 5:14
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Let your light shine, and don't cower before others to hide it or quickly blow it out. Keep oil in yourself, keep your light burning.
If people don't like you for it, that's something THEY will have to deal with and eventually they will have to get over it or move on. I can't tell you how many people in my own life I've had diss me because of my faith, the really funny thing is I've hardly ever brought my faith up with them yet I was the "Attacker." and somehow I was pushing my faith down their throats because I wore a cross.
To be honest, I'm glad all of those people are out of my life. All of them were miserable, had a nasty out look on life and weren't too great to be around, it was their problem not mine. Take my advice on this don't be a butt kisser. It gets you nowhere and can make others look down on you and even dis-respect you and your views.
Some of you are probably reading and asking,"Why did she pick gaia to talk about all this crap? No one wants to hear this, no one cares or is religious on this site."
Well for one, if I was younger and on this site not knowing of anything that I do right now, I would want someone out there to reach out to me as a Christian and warn me of all the hell that was coming. As a young Christian girl I didn't have any of this information that I do now, I got a very scary wake-up call from a man looking out for me. Now I want to repay the favor.
