There is this girl in my English who everyone makes fun of and one day she was crying, so I sat and talked to her. I kept getting these dirty looks from ppl around like "why are you talking to HER?" i get along with everyone in that class just fine. but i'm not ONE of them, ya know? I sit in the very back row without a desk partner, and i'll be honest and say i'd rather not be the only one who sits alone in the class. anyway, yesterday some guys wanted me to write a "love note" and sign her name on it and when I refused, they got really upset with me. I've come to realize that it's fine and dandy to be in the midst of ppl of the world, but at certain point, you have to stand up and not cross the line. Just because everyone's doing something, doesn't mean you do it too. I like for ppl to like me. I don't like upsetting anyone. so i try my very best to do what i can to keep ppl from getting upset with me, but i've gotten to the point where I don't let that bother me. I think to myself, if I don't stop it here, who will? If i don't ask this person if they need prayer, who will? You'd be surprised how many ppl actually appreciate the fact that you would pray for them. I think it goes a long way. I know it did with me. Even when i told ppl back in the day that i didn't want them to pray for me, knowing that they were praying for me anyway really did affect me. So anyway, just thought i'd get that off my mind. Stand up for your faith. How many friends you have in the world doesn't mean a thing once you get to heaven. It all depends on how many you tried to bring with you.
