Heads up on the really random posts...

Just wanted to let everyone know that there may be some random posts. I'm currently looking for any scholorship I can get my hands on and some of them are for teens with blogs. The point of these scholorships is that they send you to a website and say you have to pick out a car and then write a blog post about why it's your dream car or they'll give you a topic and you have to blog about it. I just wanted to let you know so that when "My dream apartment" pops up its for a scholorship contest. Hope your having a great day!!!!

We are who we are when?

So today something happened I have been really convicted about the way I reacted to the situation. Basically some people were making fun of God and instead of taking a real stand I tried to make a joke out of it like "hey guys we should stop, don't feel like dying" type of deal but I didn't take a real stand. I become really convicted one because I feel like I pretty much smacked God in the face by standing by and letting him be mocked and two because everyone there knows that I'm a Christian and that one screw up alone could very well have hurt my witness to those particular people. I was praying about how to handle the situation (which is take a stand if the joke is brought up again) and that quote "You are who you are when no one else is around" popped into my head and I really started to think about it. That is how the world justifies a lot of what they do. If you're the real you when no one's around then what you do the rest of time doesn't matter because that's not really you right? Wrong. Unfortunatly a lot of Christians (myself included) have decided that if this standard is good enough for the world then it's good enough for us. Well that mind set is wrong a destructive. For us as Christians the reality of life is We are who we are when EVERYONE is around. Our job is to take a stand for Christ in front of people not in private. We are supposed to glorify Jesus in front of people not just when we're alone. So, think about when you laugh at a joke, refuse to speak up, or open your mouth. You Are Who You Are When Everyone Is Around.
