Since when in this world did having an opinion, a passion, turn into to someone being judgmental. Since when did it turn to something where you get totally rejected by your friends and family. It’s upsetting.
Why can’t I post about my passion for the pro life movement without offending anyone? I’ll tell you why – guilt and shame. I’m sure a lot of the people I come into contact with KNOW it’s wrong, or have had an abortion, but they feel guilty for letting it happen. Maybe they do feel passionate about the woman’s right to choose. But why can’t I feel passionate about a the innocence of the unborn. Since when did standing up for BABIES turn me into the Devil?
I really TRY to be sensitive to everyone around me. But I am TIRED of watching these people screw up their lives, and here I am just standing by being silent because I don’t want to offend someone, or because I want everyone in the world to like me.
It’s just sad really. I’m really trying to find out what GOD wants me to do. But sometimes it’s HARD not to say something. It’s HARD not to express WHO I AM. This is who I am. I guess people would like for me to be fake, which I guess that is the only time I have ever had friends, ever.
Even with all that, I am so thankful to have a husband who loves me no matter what. I love him no matter what as well. It’s been 12 years of loving and forgiveness – trust me. But I am so sad to see these people who have respected me in the past until I express my opinions.
I am not really sure how to handle these situations? I can always take a break, but then what? What about my {extended} family, the people I see often? It HURTS when your sister ignores you but pays attention to her friends. It hurts when the people around you don’t respect what you do as a Christian, wife, or mother. I have no real idea what these people think, but I do know how they react to me. It’s just sad.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all the major blessings you have given me. Could I really ask for anything more? Thank you for the awesome husband who LOVES me in every sense of the word. Thank you for letting me wake up today surrounded by the 4 people I love the most here on this earth. Thank you for being everything I have ever wanted or needed. Lord help me to know how to effectively express my passion for your WORD and Your WILL in this world. Help me to be content with those who DO love me for who I am. Help me to not take things so personally. My major request Lord – I pray for confirmation that what I am doing is what YOU want me to do. There are a lot of people out there today (including me) who have so much passion for You and Your word, and they are literally SEARCHING for others who hold onto Your word like they do. Lord I just want to pray for fellowship.
I pray this all in your mighty son Jesus’ name – Amen!
