"When I say I'm a Christian" - My Diary

The poem above is so beautiful. For so long I had this image of what a Christian should be like or how they should behave, so I simply tried to avoid it. God finally spoke to me telling me that it is not by works that you are saved but by grace (Ephesians 2:8). "What does that mean?" I asked. He didn't speak, He showed me instead.

The image I had stuck in my head made me into a person that I shouldn't have taken energy to be. I was very stuck on proving that I was ''finally'' this Christian that was supposed to happen at one time or another. I saw that when I made a mistake I had to hide it.

I think the hardest part was after my mistake I would hear someone say: "why did you do that? I thought you were a Christian?", or the infamous use of reverse psychology: "You should do this for me, Christians behave like that".

It's Just A Picture So You Can Say Whatever You Want

For those who know the movie Precious, you'll definitely know the actresss Gabourey Sidibe as she is the girl who plays Precious. Many people had jokes about her weight; however when the award season arrived and the movie was in the spotlight, many were quick to smile and pretend like they had been true supporters from the beginning.

When award season was over, jokes were back in tact! Of course these were jokes about her weight (e.g. Howard Stern on his radio show). I must admit that watching a few Saturday Night Live skits about ''Precious'' were hilarious at the beginning...

MTV's New Show: If You Really Knew Me

I was watching the documentary series called 'If You Really Knew Me', which airs on MTV. For those who do not know the show, the program is about two people who head to different high-schools for a day whilst introducing a 'course' called 'Challenge Day'. These schools are full of stereotypes, bullying, cliques and prejudice; thus, the aim of 'Challenge Day' is to attempt to break those boundaries in order for the students to understand that they are actually more alike than they think.

I really like the show because it shows that just like real life, people tend to be more complex than the labels that are assigned to them. With that said, I also had a few thoughts and comments on it whilst I watched an episode:

Piece of Your Heart

I have been having about five or so re-occurring conversations with my friends, acquaintances and just randoms who decide that they need to get something off their chest. BUT...the point is, I'm going to be sharing a few of these conversations in the months to come.

One conversation in particular was about relationships. This one is definitely for all you single guys and girls who want a LASTING relationship that could lead to marriage in the far/near future; so if "your thing" right now is to explore and have flings, you can press the 'X' at the right of the screen.
