The Importance Of Church Christ

Church camp was hands down one of the best experiences of my life. I found Jesus there and I was a changed person. My life began to look up and become extremely positive when I began my walk with Jesus Christ. I was so moved by this life altering experience that I decided to be baptized. Right before I went through with my decision to be baptized I had multiple people warn me that accepting Christ in a public place would attract hate and negativity from others who shared different beliefs than me. I lightly noted what they had said in my brain but I did not put any further thought into it. After being baptized I instantly regretted taking their advice light heartedly.

This was an unusual act for me because I was the biggest pushover I knew, I hated conflict. I went to school the next day and this was the day that everything changed.

I knew it was my time to take a hold of this situation and make a change. I could not be the sweet, nice, easy going cheerleader I was every other day. He had pushed me to the edge and I decided to take a stand for myself. A few times before I had stood up for myself but I lacked the integrity and passion I had today so it never resulted in a positive outcome for me. He would always find my weak spot by asking me questions I had absolutely no idea how to answer and then he would laugh in my face. At this point I felt helpless and decided I had nothing to lose. I decided before I spoke I wouldn’t let him win this time; I couldn’t if I truly wanted change. I spoke bold and sternly and I honestly believe God was speaking through me as I explained to will how he was draining me emotionally and I practically begged him to agree to disagree about our beliefs. After I said my spiel I was overwhelmed with relieve when Will agreed with what I had said. I felt free from his chains of negativity. Never ever did I expect Will to agree so easily. I laughed at myself for not trying this method earlier. It made me feel so stupid when I realized I had never tried to just talk to him I either ignored him or responded snarky. I cringed as I thought of how much trouble I could have saved myself
