Aw, way to make me feel awesome about myself! I do actually think knowing myself is one of my favourite things about myself. I was very shy when I was younger (and now still, too) but it’s not so much shyness now as it is extreme caution. I’ve always really thought about and dwelt on things that everyone else seems to dismiss and I’ve learned that if something really feels not okay, I don’t regret backing out, when I would definitely regret doing it and having it turn out badly.
*hugs back* I just really, really wish I had thought to say it. Even if I’d decided not to say it (which would have also been a mistake), I would have at least realized that should be the most important thing about me.
That is probably part of it as well. I’ve gotten used to not bringing it up on purpose and only mentioning it when it does come up, because the last thing I want to do is be preachy and in-your-face about it. But at the same time, I really hope my not working on Sundays and my no swearing (out loud, anyway) and especially the way I act makes it obvious. I know I’m never going to be perfect at it, but it doesn’t stop me wishing I was.

That's great! I'm glad to hear it. I wish I could get that through my own skull. /: Thank God I don't run into that sort of situation often.
And I think you're right that your Sunday-observing, No-swearing behavior will get across the fact that you're a Christian. It works for me and my sibs. : )
