Thu Jun 21 2001 - I suck as a christian
I suck as a christian
Dear Diary,

While reading "Jesusfreak's" entry about being an inadequate christian, I was thinking, what kind of christian am I. Well, I don't really testify that much. I testify to some people while in chat rooms is about all. My friends aren't into it. I don't really read the bible that much. Nor do I really do anything that would be considered "for God". I sit here, watch the siblings, sometimes cook. I know, works don't get you into heaven, but as a saved christian, I should be doing the work of God. Not because I feel it will impress him, but because that is what kind of person I am.

Now that I look back on this diary, it's less of me struggling to be a christian, but me just plain struggling. This diary was supposed to be about me trying to become the person God would have me be. Well, that is all I have to say, I'm gonna go pray, maybe God can relight that fire that once burned for him after I was baptized.

hi t!
keep your chin up! wish i had something profound to say, but the truth is i sure as hell don't feel very inspirational myself. (so much for charisma or wisdom eh?) you are gonna make it though, i have faith in you and God does too.

Just know that every little thing you do, in gods name glorifies him. Everyone has something that makes them feel close to god, for some it's through song, or helping with the childrens ministry, or helping with other things. Find something that when you do it, you know that this is where god wants you to be, or where you feel the closest. Prayer is most definitly a start, but do it becasue you want to just say...hey god you know what??? Not because you think it will bring you closer. I'm so very happy that you want a closer walk with god * scooting over so you can walk between us* because I'm sure he's been waiting for you.

You ARE a good christian, you are doin' a lotta things for your family, your lil brother an' sister, you don't hate your mum even tho she has given you good reason to. You always think of people before yourself...
There's hundreds more things I've seen from reading your entry :)
Take care hon :)
