Am I Crazy? (Don't Answer That...)

Today I feel: overwhelmed

I still have so much to do this week but I only have to be at school for three days out of the five, so that helps.
Bible study was really good tonight. We went to the mall and had our bible study there (minus the pink carpets). First we just started talking about hell and how we know it's real. Then we were talking about other religions and why anyone would want to believe in anything but Christianity. Then I started thinking...if you didn't believe what you believe about Christianity, it would sound pretty crazy. I mean, for instance, yesterday when we went on that field trip I was driving and we get in my van and I start it up and the radio comes on. This girl Olivia is like "What are we listening to?" and I'm like "Christian music" and she just says "Oh." So after there is a break in the conversation, we are all sitting in silence other than the radio playing and I just start listening to the words of the song and, I don't remember exactly what song it was, but I started wondering what everyone else in my van was thinking, because I knew that most of them weren't Christians. I mean think about it. The words to most of the songs on 88.1 would sound like pretty crazy ideas if you didn't grow up hearing and believing it. After that, every song that came on I paid attention to the words more than I ever had before and I was just praying that God would speak to the hearts of the girls in my van. It's weird to think that there are people out there who don't believe what we do, but just think if there was like a Mormon radio station or a Jehovah's Witness radio station that played songs about what they believe. Wouldn't we, as Christians, just wonder what the heck they are talking about? I know I would. So, the lesson I took away from that experience is that not everyone believes what I do and, in fact, they probably think that some of what I believe is crazy. So, if they are ever going to believe it too, they need it explained to them. I can't just assume that everyone knows the story of David and Goliath or something. I've got to put it in words they understand. Although at first I was nervous about the situation, I was eventually glad for the opportunity to share that music with them. If they think I weird because of it, oh well.
