Nope =) Only time i can think off is when i was at the dentist & they pulled a tooth, My mom said out loud Thank you Lord Jesus & then i looked at the dentist face & i dont know but i got a weird vibe so i dint want to go back to that place again because what if he dont beleive in God & hates people who believe in him or what if he dont like God he might hurt me on purpose when hes working on my teeth. Either way if he asked me do you believe in God i would definatly say YES i do, Or just Yes =D I DONT want to deny God NO! I know in this world i cant live without him.
I felt bad for feeling that way because i know God can protect me :D I dint feel ashamed of knowing God but kind of scared that that guy might try & hurt me. Im ashamed even for thinking that.

Im NOT ashamed of saying God is the one i love & that i believe in him =) even as a child i was not ashamed or embarrased. Now i honestly just want to have mostly friends who believe in God =D IM tired of all these teenagers doing drugs, drinking & having sex like crazy.

I think a lot of times what makes us afraid is "what people will think of us if we 'say the wrong thing'". Instead, we need to always stand for right and truth, no matter what others are doing. But, yeah, it is hard sometimes to do it; especially when someone you thought you could trust ends up getting in to something questionable. Just keep on keeping on!

Faithful87 is having an experience with one of her college professors. Ask her about how she feels he is challenging / inhibiting her expression of religion. Tell her that I referenced you.

I think everyone has been scared to share their faith, no matter what they tell you. I have been, most of the times are for the most ridiculous reasons to. A lot of the time it is just fear of being different (the thing is, as a christian we are already different) I'd much rather be classified as a christian than as a normal person of society, I love the concept of being a Jesus Freak, but just a few years ago, I would do anything to fit in, so sharing my faith was not something I enjoyed doing. now I simply share it when I feel God telling me to. I dont shuv it down their troats or anything I find it much more useful to ask them questions and get them wondering, human nature is to be inquisitive.
