not a good day

I will think about that… I don’t want to hide it like something I’m ashamed of, hmm… maybe if I practice it but just don’t talk about it unless I’m asked, that would help. I just know when I first discovered my faith, I was very excited about it and talked about it quite a bit, but that really caused tension with my mom - it didn’t help that I often argued, which is totally my fault. I wish I could go back and fix my mistakes, I am still a baby Christian but I was definitely a baby Christian back then - but I suppose it’s best to just focus on today and being different now, rather than letting the past discourage me. I try not to argue anymore.

That’s probably good. I’ve found two that arguing doesn’t work. The soil has to be readyand that takes time. I got angry when I realized I had believed lies and used to vocally denounce and disparage evangelical beliefs. It only offends people and doesn’t make them interested in the faith. Listening is good. Oftentimes silence is the best. Opportunities will present themselves.
