What Kind Of Christian Are You?

Society has gotten really good at putting a label on being a Christian, I have a response to that.

What Kind Of Christian Are You?
Stacey Martin

Strange question isn't it?

It seems as though the world has gotten really good at putting a label on everything. Whether that be your sexuality, race, appearance, music selection, or the most popular your religion, the world always has something to say. Well, ignore that.

I go to a small Christian university, and everyday I try to live the way God has calls us to. Just like every other Christian, I fail. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, I fail. I know that, I try to accept I won't ever be perfect, and I don't give up. I chose a Christian school because I wanted to learn more, find out more, and pursue my faith while pursuing my career. Although, school gets busy, and there wasn't much time for ministry on campus.

I found myself in a state of judgment. I judged myself, and I was also getting judged from others. I knew I could have worked a little harder to set aside time for chapel, upper room, and bible study. Instead, I did that stuff on my own when I did have the time, but no one else could see that. I feel the Christian eyes on me thinking "She says she's a Christian, but she doesn't come to chapel."

Suddenly I realized, it's nobody else's busy what my relationship is like with God. I know where I stand with him. I know what living the call means, and I wake up and attempt to do that each and every day. This includes constant prayer, daily devotions on my own time, and loving other just as God loves me.

What kind of Christian are you? It's a trick question folks. There's no right or wrong kind. There isn't a manual to what your relationship with Christ is supposed to look like. Everyone's faith is original. It's copyrighted to you. Make it whatever you want it to look like, but just love The Lord and love him well. That's all you need.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
