Starting Over

After a ton of pretty much trash talking from others, I took my last post down. I guess my disclaimer was that...Christian thoughts, ideas, language pretty much everything is so normal to me now that when people from my old life really don't understand it and think I'm a crazy person when I talk that way. Not only did I not expect them to read my blog, or even care nonetheless what I am doing with my life now, I didn't expect quite the reaction I received. I did come off judgmental though and I apologize for that, I am in no place to predict another person's salvation. I also remembered what Christ talked about in John 15 -
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason."
These words immediately lifted me, and made me realize that this kind of thing should be expected from non-believers. Besides all of the drama...Christmas is almost here, and I must go to sleep!
