PAY ATTENTION!!!

Pay attention everyone, this may be the most important post I shall ever make on this humble blog. Ready? Okay.
I am going to be a Jesus Freak.
Crazy I know. But here's the thing, I am so incredibly sick of hearing and seeing half-assed Christianity. There is so much of it and just a blatant disregard for everything truly important in life and I frankly hate it with everything I have. It disgusts me. And I want to be different. I want it so badly that I will be different. Because what I truly believe we need is Christians to show up and show God. I am so blessed with having an amazing, supportive, and strong Christian family, and it makes me incredibly sad to see people who don't have that, and incredibly furious to see people throw that away. I was just reading Jesus Freaks by DC Talk and it is hundreds of stories of Christians around the globe and through the centuries who have been killed for the sake of Christ. And the thing that struck me the most, more than the fact that they could still forgive their killers, more than them still telling others the good news on the blazing stake, is that people listened. That having such an earth shattering faith is something that simply cannot be ignored. And so here in Canada and, as far as I know, the US, is where we have been trained to settle for less. It's brilliant really, make the most full of potential nations the most apathetic for true Christianity. Those last two sentences don't really flow.
What I'm trying to say is that I have to do this. I have to be a Jesus Freak, if for the only reason that no one else is. I will do and say things at UofL that I hope will challenge people. And I frankly feel so strongly about this that I don't even care if it costs me my dream. I don't care if I can't be a teacher. This is just too important. And I have to make people see that. At University I have been forced to look directly into the face of people who wish that I, as a Christian, had never been born. I have been told to my face that what I believe is stupid and makes no sense. And to my shame I didn't have an answer. But there is an answer. And that is that Christianity is the Truth. And that once again a few will have to stand up for the Truth against all odds and all others.
It truly is a battle that I cannot hope to win, and when I think about the people that won't listen, not just to me, but at all, it makes me want to scream. But I think this is a war that people don't even know the sides on, and I intend to struggle with all my might to make people realize that the Truth is more than just a matter of opinion, more than just a worldview, and more than just something to keep yourself amused by. There truly is Nothing more important. So I will become a Freak. For Jesus.
