I want you to notice me.

Do you ever have days when you are consistently running around from the moment you wake up to the moment you get out of work, yet for some reason that day was one of the most relaxing days you have had in a while? I am not going to lie, the past few days I have done nothing but sleep in, lie in bed reading, and eventually get up only to go to work and come back home to bed. And those days seemed to be never ending and exhausting. But today I woke up, cleaned, did a few errands, cut the beautiful Erin's hair, and worked till close... and I feel rejuvenated!

Anywho - onto a new gear. Lately I feel like people have been shooting arrows at me for being a Christian. I am often made fun of because of my convictions on sexual behavior before marriage, or every day life behavior. It is never anything too serious, mostly just sarcastic remarks, or a chuckle here and there, but for some reason this has been getting under my skin a lot lately. I put on my "righteous cap" (which is not okay) and I think, "I don't make fun of you for your convictions. I love you. I accept you." I know-I know, I can be quite sensitive. But then it hit me tonight... a pastor once said, "If you aren't being persecuted for your love and devotion to Christ, then You are doing something wrong..." I should be THRILLED that my heart's desire to serve the Lord is being NOTICED.

And that is that.

Bon Nuit
