dealing with ignorant people
Many times in the christan life you reach paths. These paths lead you to different homes, different friends, different states, different trips, different jobs, different churches. At this stage of my life, God has lead me to a new and wonderful church, FBC Brandon. You would think that your brothers and sisters in christ would be happy that you are strong enough in your faith to make that change. NOT that case scenario here. Instead I had a very long and interesting conversation with a member at my last church, (East Sligh Avenue Baptist Church) aka (E.S.A.B.C.). Her name is Magan. She is a very lovely lady 21 years old and has been going to that church her entire life, she has never known a different church. Anyways, we start talking and I tell her about some of the things i'm excited about, Camp in July, and just things in general and everything like that. Well, I notice she wasn't responding at all, so I then tell her that if it bothers her that I talk about my new and wonderful church *didn't say new and wonderful* then to tell me about it. She responds then that it doesn't bother her but that she doesn't know what to think about the whole me switching and everything. I, knowing me, come back with the fact that I have prayed about it and I KNOW that it is God's will for my life, at this stage in my life, to go to FBC BRANDON. I then make a statement that after what certain people have told me after I told them that I had switched it discouraged me and made me want to quit church all together since no one was happy, but then I realized that I am not here to please man, but to please God. Knowing curiosity she asked what I mean. I told her about the whole conversation that I was forced to have between my old youth director and I a couple of weeks ago. She then suggests that I talk to him, and I said no of course because I didn't want to say something that I would regret. Long story short it came down to where now she is mad at me because I don't believe that Bro. Daniel was the right choice for the church. Ouch, I guess I shouldn't have said that. What do yall think? You think I was right in what I said, or what. Comments always welcomed.
