Usually nothing stops me from sharing my faith. A few months back I was posting statuses on Facebook about being excited for church, etc, etc. And I was informed via a text that someone was making fun of me and Rachel for posting these 'excited for church' posts. I never got to see what he wrote but apparently a lot of kids from school supported and liked everything he said. He still has me and Rachel blocked but I guess you could say he slowed me down from posting too many statuses about going to church. So I guess you could say social rejection gets me from coming out with it.
I actually made an announcement about the Strobelight Dodgeball in my class and for people to show up but some of the class snickered when I said it was at my church... I refrained from announcing events again.
I think that's what we're all really afraid of but I know we shouldn't be. Our life is for Jesus not for fitting in in high school. High school will be over in a few years and I'll probably never see half of those people again, and half of those people might never get another chance hear about Jesus Christ. So I'll keep working at it.
