If I aim to be like Jesus, all those other things follow afterward..<br />Thanks for posting!Annabelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326041191684355559.post-4855016139221496512011-12-30T03:38:45.003-06:002011-12-30T03:38:45.003-06:00Awesome!

And I have to say it gets amplified when you hit college. On both ends. You get even closer to God, but you get more crazier and irritated looks and people viewing you as naive or unintelligent because you haven't broadened your mind to view other religions and just stuck to the one that your parents gave you (which in my case wouldn't be true, since my parents are atheist and agnostic).<br />But it's one small sacrifice that will bring me more peace then if I (or we) gave in.<br />And I always answer the people with "I'm not naive, I'm in love."<br />Thanks for the postKateynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326041191684355559.post-91759806036398471782011-12-30T03:38:21.426-06:002011-12-30T03:38:21.426-06:00You are so right, my dad didn't become a chris...You are so right, my dad didn't become a christian until he was in his twenty's and he regrets those years that he wasn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
