ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
'Tis true.
Well, sometimes you need more. For example, if I were to make a s'more, I would need more than love.
I'd need some graham crackers.
And chocolate.
And marshmallows.
Speaking of marshmallows, today was the final varsity practice for the year (what's this to do with marshmallows? Thou shalt see). And during this time, instead of a normal practice, we play the Marshmallow Game (Aha!). This involves two teams, one batting, one fielding. The batting team hits the ball and has to run around the bases. Whoever on the other team fields the ball must run in to the pitching rubber and eat a marshmallow before the runner reaches home. It's an intense game, though I must admit, after eating five marshmallow in under three seconds and running around the bases three times, I wasn't feeling so hot, but I kept on going.
Also, just another moment that amused me today was during Wildcats practice. Today I wore my really amazing shirt that says "Body Piercing Saved My Life" and it has a picture of Jesus' hands (totally awesome, right?). So I was at first base with some other girls from the older team, and the one girl reads my shirt and asks "So did body piercing really save your life?" Me: "Yes. Yes it did." "Did it really?" "Yup" Then another girl on the older teams chirped in "Yup, I'll back up anything she says." The other girl "So you actually pierced your hands? Haha, no, I'm just kidding. But seriously, that's an awesome shirt." Then for the next couple minutes they both went on saying how cool my shirt was. And although I was a bit mad at myself for not saying anything more about it, I thought it was a cool... moment, anyway. I don't know if either of these girls is saved, but sometimes I love this shirt just because most people can't figure it out and I have to explain it to them. And even if I don't get a chance to share my faith, they at least hopefully get the idea that I'm not shy about what I believe. So yea, that was cool.
Moving on.
If you haven't already, take a look at my last post and vote on what picture you think I should use for my blog button (the poll is over there -->). I'm leaning towards the dandelion one. It just looks so... magical. Like a unicorn. But not.
Also, I very, very much apologize for not posting on HIS blog yet, but my schedule has been a bit tight (ironically, I think I have more free time when school's still going on. Maybe I just get lazier during the summer). I'll try to do that tomorrow.
So, just wondering...
Do any of you find it difficult to share your faith?
I mean, to be completely honest, I don't think I've ever done it. Not in so many words anyway. People know I'm "religious" in some way. But sadly, I don't think I've ever really said so much about it. I don't always have very many opportunities, but I never seem to take advantage of the few I do get. Like today. Why is it so hard? I guess I'm a bit scared of rejection. Not having the right answers. But I really want to just get out there and confess my love for Christ! Why won't I? It's confusing... maybe not.
But either way, it's late and I still have much to do.
Oh, random fact...
Ya know how in high school people are sort of classified? Ya know, like jock, artist, goth, geek, etc? I think it's absolutely impossible for me to be classified like that. I have so many little bits and pieces of those things thrown together. I'm into softball, music, I like weird artsy stuff, I can have my geek moments (HTML, anyone?), it's just nuts! I sometimes wonder if that's why I never get really close with one group of people. I bounce around between different ones. I can't hang out with just the sports people, or just the band geeks. It's a whole jibber jabber of people.
So that's that.
Cheers ♥
It's so weird when you actually know someone who has a blog. You learn so much about them :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I find it hard to share my faith, though I don't know why!
And wow, that is so me! I don't really have one group... I'm alll over the place!
