Yes, it's true.
I'm moving my blog.
It's a sad thing to do.
But I like Wordpress better :)

Judging: Friends judging others.
I have a friend who's a Christian, but she judges A LOT. Whenever she sees someone who isn't good looking or bigger she starts talking about them and judging.
I told her she doesn't have to judge, and I told her how it made me feel uncomfortable that she was judging people for their looks. She said, "Well it's true" (The people that she was judging.)
Then the next day her mom said that someone was a lesbian and my friend started to mock me and was saying, "You don't have to judge" and she told her mom how I told her she didn't have to judge and her mom was getting defencive.
She was saying, "Oh well you have to judge if someone was a bad person or if someones gay" and I cut her off saying, "Well that's their problem, but you don't have to tell it to the whole world, just keep it to yourself."
It was like she was promoting judging. It just makes me a little angry.
The reason why is because when I first met their family 7 years ago, she hated me because I wasn't Christian and I acted differently. (She was very religious)
It's funny because I'm trying to get closer to God, but they're moving away from Him.
Another thing is I can barely go to Church because I go to my dads every other weekend, and the other weekends he tries to take me. It's getting a little annoying because I haven't been to Church since maybe July.
It's sad that I have very little Christian friends. More frustrating then sad because they're turning to the real world more then to God.
Well that's my little rant.

How do you act in different scenery's: Do you take God with you?
So right now my friend is blaring Brittney Spears and I'm singing the song "You Put the Light in Me" in my head, I'm not too fond of 'real music' anymore.
But on to the post.
I used to act differently in different scenery's. For example, When I was at Church or with my Christian friends I would appreciate God and cherish him and love him, but for some reason when I was with my non-Christian friends I would party and forget about God.
This brought me to the conclusion that I wasn't a real Christian. I had to step up my game and take God everywhere, not just to Church.
I cleaned up my act, even though I do slip up on swearing and acting the way my non Christian friends act. I pray to God every day to give me the strength to resist the things they do.
Another example is it has been a tradition to go to the homecoming football game at my school.
It took about a day of arguing back and forth with myself to not go to the game.
The reason behind that was because I knew how I would act. In the moment, swearing like a sailor, and not acting like myself.
I think I made the right decision.
