Worldviews

Image
By Annie
I felt the need to sit down and wrestle with this a little and perhaps give myself a little debrief session. 

I have a group assignment that requires discussion and presentation about my individual world views. There were a bunch of questions that helped unpack this, and my group and were going through them and talking about what we thought about it. Some of these questions included, "Is there a God?", "What is God's role in human affairs?", "Who or what made the world?"

In my group of four, 3 members are non-Christians, 2 of which are my best friends. 

As we were going through the questions, I became increasingly anxious and unsettled. I found myself being unable to elaborate on my views as a Christian and felt extremely intimidated. I felt ashamed of myself because I couldn't share my faith openly. And I know it's because I was afraid of judgement. Afraid of the way they would perceive me. 

I'm sorry Dad. 
I'm sorry that I felt ashamed of you.
I'm sorry that I let my fears get the better of me. 
I'm sorry I felt afraid. 
Please convict me of your truths again and again so that I would be able to proclaim your greatness to all. 
Please give me wisdom and courage to share who you are to my group members. 
Amen.

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.
