i did it! i plucked up all the courage i had, and did something so "not me"! i brought up the topic of Christianity to an unbelieving friend (: its a milestone for me, because i've never had to struggle so hard for the courage to do so, and my conversations on Christianity were usually started by the other party. i guess i am afraid that people would find me pushy, and be afraid of the implications of that. but i realised that, the scariest part of it was taking the first step! it was really so much scarier played out in my head! haha
maybe things went well this time because God wanted to show me that i CAN do it, and not to be so fearful that something will go wrong!
this experience made me realise that all you really need is love! cliche as it sounds, but i know its really true only now! because when the fear came, i kept telling myself that everything is hanging on this, and what if this was the only moment that i could speak to her about what i believe in? i just felt so strongly at that moment that i HAD to talk to her.
and i also realised that whenever you are thinking about God constantly throughout the day, it is so much easier to spot the opportunities to share your faith! if you dont think about it, you will overlook many valuable opportunities! because in the past, i would often only be "caught unaware" by friends, and usually i would not have time to think through exactly what to say/ how to react (and later regretting my actions). sharing your faith is also is a matter of getting used to it! its not comfortable, but its necessary!
it makes me wanna take my faith more seriously! i wanna read this book called "Case for Christ" so that i can answer her questions, but i've been lagging behind on my bible reading and other books (still halfway!)
but knowing this, i also know that its not possible to read books for every question that my friends ask me. i would probably become to preoccupied/ stressed out with trying to answer questions that i forget about love.
let's all strive to be testimonies for Him! (: tell me about your first experience! i would love to hear it (:
