This is what it all comes down to ( iknow I said that in the title)
THis is always going to be a problem if I remain great friends with my church friends...
I define myself as a person SOOOOOoooo differently from them.
I wasn't able to articulte this for myself until now, and for a bunch of different reasons, I am now... and I'm glad.
Still, I don't know where this leaves me.
Okay, but I dont want to focus on what I dont know right now- so more of what i do know...
I know that I would never be the kind of girl who walked around with WWJD t-shirts.... for a lot of reasons.... and no offense to people who do.. but like i said, there are reasons why i wouldnt
The fact that everyone within the group of friends I've been hanging out with is SOOO similar in terms of what they believe and the way they act.. I mean.. I know what the bible says.. and I understand that they are folliwing it the way they think they should.. but to have no one ever step outside that box...
It has to do with culture-- I am Jewish, in a way I can't even explain... and I am a Christian.. and I need to be able to have peace with that... and with this group.. I won't be able to do that...
Now how do I say any of this, to any of them?
That is the quetion....
*sigh*
I need to do a musical.. Random huh? But I do-- i've been watching "in search of america" this news show-- and they were talking about this self expressional journey this kids had doing Hair last year... and.. .it just hit me in a way I can't explain.
