Her Mother: I’ll talk to you soon ok? Send my love to your parents.
Jen: Ok Aunty. Bye.
That is sooo the kind of stunt my mother would’ve pulled.
I don’t feel worthy to share the message with people. Even my friends. Unless they ask me something. I mean, honestly… what the hell do I know about Christ anymore? I feel too disillusioned by the people at church these days. I feel so far from God myself. No no no. I can’t blame the church goers. They are only a fraction of the problem. But I’d be a hipocrite to share anything with her if I myself don’t do the things I’m telling her to do.

Yeah, I still believe in god, but I think the whole church thing isn’t up to scratch. Last time I went I had little old ladies trying to kiss me, and some old guys telling me that I had been saved again. Just because I hadn’t been for six months before that. I just wanted a nice place where I could hear someone talk about their beliefs, and then I could quietly contemplate them. This was perhaps too much.
Of course I have never been asked to try and convince someone to become more of a christian.
I think I need to revitalize my faith somehow. I’ve been so lax in that aspect of my life…
I still “believe,” but a lot of people make it seem like just “believing” isn’t enough.
