We could have been awkward Christian lumberjack friends. :)ButterPeanuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803402578191088943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-63467059542209232992010-07-13T21:19:15.853-05:002010-07-13T21:19:15.853-05:00Yessss.

I think it's really awesome that even though there were people who said stuff about you, you only wanted to be yourself. That's really tough for a teenager to do. The video is a classic!

I realized that being a Christian can help you fit in and being yourself is highly acceptable there.<br /><br />I found my boyfriend through it.

I think that it might just be a reaction to be 'different' since being a Christian is supposed to be living a life differently to non-Christians. But when you're a teenager things get messed up pretty bad pretty quickly.Diane Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105731754223780733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-74397161175006926092010-07-09T08:13:17.185-05:002010-07-09T08:13:17.185-05:00lovely post :) i like the video! it's cute.

I made the mistake right after I was saved my senior year of high school to work in christian retail for two years until they fired me for not getting kids sponsored. Reading this grounded me a little bit and reminded me that real faith can't be found in silly 'christian' bible covers, t-shirts, stickers tool kits etc. <br /><br />And the whole bit on becoming a woman, totally relatable. I was so paranoid I was afraid to move the first time I got my period. I look back and laugh now! xo KristinKristin Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526751248653220346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-33435260091295553942010-07-08T22:36:53.990-05:002010-07-08T22:36:53.990-05:00I love your writing, so honest and insightful!
