Gotta say this.

You know what I am SO sick of?
I am sick of people calling me weak.
You know why they call me weak?
Because I'm a Christian.
"Weak-minded,"
"Unable to think for herself,"
"Completely lacking reason,"
"Basing her life on a lie."

Here's the truth:
Christianity is not easy.
It's not a walk in the park or a piece of cake.
Living for a God who people see as dead, uncaring, or nonexistent is anything but easy.
Standing up for a faith that is folly for those outside of it is not something that a person can do on their own.
Living each day outside of society's norms,
Being dead to sin,
Taking up my cross daily,
Resisting the devil,
Staying in prayer,
Remaining focused on God rather than this world...
all while everything around me tells me to do something else?
The pressure is greater than you think.
Don't believe me? Try it.

Christianity is not for the faint of heart.
Yet it is.
Christianity is not for the weak and weary.
Yet it is.
Because it's through Christ I live like this, and Christ is the base, the core of this religion called Christianity. He is the One we have a relationship with. And even though the way is hard and living for Him may not be the easy thing to do, through Him we have the strength to be more than conquerers and live life here and in eternity to the fullest extent possible.
