@ Home - Romans 1:16 profession
I have seen myself grow over the past couple of years now about professing my faith.
From being so shy holding this Christian name in high school and also at CGCC, to flaunting it at ASU, is a powerful thing. Every time someone asks me where I work, I say “I work for a couple I met through our church, and we just fix computers, it’s a ministry really.” I think Romans 1:16 has been a big part of my growth and motivates me to defend my decisions. This girl in my accounting class took something I said and asked “so it’s like letting a girl lead on the top” I give a weird look and Patrick next to me said, “he doesn’t know what to say”, when noticing my facial expression. Then I said “I’ve never experienced that before actually” Then she pauses and says “So you’re one of those that are religiously waiting till you get married... I’m sorry” I quickly said “Well I’m not sorry.” She snickered and paused... “Are you Mormon?” I smiled and said “No, I think if I was Mormon I’d probably kill myself, just Pure Christian.” Then she became really silent the rest of class. When it happened I felt joy, it was so weird, I mean I felt a little *awkward* too because it’s unnatural for me, but still... Joy!
