You ever been like, this life is ahhh!! Getting flustrated. One thing that hurts.. is like.. im longing for a relationship.. I want a christian girlfriend, and what sucks is.. nobody around here my age, and I like feel so bad, its like.. "Well Lord, what next? Do I stay single all my life? People I am interested are taken, and blah.. junk.. Anyways.. yeah.. I was on Channel 7 News last night, and they cut out so much! I mean alot!! it was like, dang. All stuff about Jesus was cut out. I just asked myself now.. "God, if its for you, why do they cut you out of my words?" *Sigh* hmmm, and I just heard in my head "Its there option to reject me" or somethin..

Teen People magazine came today, and the girl interviewed me, and she was Jewish. I started talking to her about God. I asked her "What do you believe?" she told me she dont believe in a God. I told her since she was Jewish, I talked about the Old Testament, saying the first attempt of human sacrafise.. explaining how God instructed Abraham to show his faith, and take Isaac and sacrafise him for a offering. I then went on saying "this is God's first showing, that one day he will send a Savior, his only Son." I then went on and explained how Jesus matched all the prophesies that the Old Testament prophesied. I then went on to say that when Jesus was on the cross, God the Father turned his back on Christ, because he took upon the sin of mankind. " She said this "Please stop, I dont want to talk about this, I am biting my tongue right now. I could argue, and this is just worthless, because I am not listening."

I felt weird, im like.. ahhh man.. okay. Then we went on with the interview. So guys, the moral of this is, dont keep God in the closet no matter what. Yup. there we go. Love ya.

you're right.. you can't keep jesus in the closet Justin, but there's a better way to share him...

i think your frustrations are valid, you're given a microphone, and you want to share how Jesus has changed you.. but the bottom line is, people want to find out how you lost 420 pounds.


i know.. you lost it because Jesus did a miracle in your life... and that needs to be told to the world..

but not everyone will believe, and not everyone will listen..

so the key is learning how to talk about the weight loss, and jesus, without turning people off... but drawing them in.


we'll talk...
