misunderstood

[dannibear]

I felt like this was a good place to vent
because you all are so caring to want to help,
and boy do I need it lol:

I feel like being by myself all the time, because
the family I have left, just don't understand my
relationship with Christ. I show them a bunch
of poems I made in praise to God, and I ask,
'How do you like them? Aren't they beautiful?'
and they say,'they don't all have to be about Jesus
do they?' and it feels like the balloon ready to pop
from excitement deflated inside me...

And they always cut me down saying, your
ridiculous bringing your Bible to school,
what do the other kids say, don't they pick on you?
and I get so upset, you would think they would
encourage my faith, but they treat me
like someone who doesn't understand.
He is my reason for living, He's the one that
brought life into me, and made me who I am.
And now I feel like, just being alone in my room
all the time, not showing them the new things
I've learned, or the things I've done or created
through Christ. It puts me in a down mood all the
time. Am I overreacting to them, do they have
a reason to feel that way? Or should I ignore
their comments? It just hurts that the very family
I have can't support what I love, especially
if it's my faith.:cry-animated:

Another note to add to that, I think
I could care less what other kids think
of me, since God's opinion is all that matters...
right?

I just don't want to seem like a drama queen,
even though I'm so broken hearted with all
they've said to me.

Take a deep breath, now relax!
you misinterpret your parents intentions.
They don't want to discourage you or make you feel bad.
Actually if you try to look at it from the side, they just want to best for their child. But for them its different from what you think is best for you.
They want you not to focus only about one thing but to take care of more stuff in your life, and they want you also to get along and wont have social problems (that they think might occur from you bringing and reading bible in school.. it seems).

you should understand though. people cant understand all the time what goes inside someone else head and what they feel and what they like.
try to be patient.

everything will be okay.. go with your values.. in the end its all there is and all that matters. you cant let others' opinion of you to set you off your track.

Pursue Christ first and foremost my friend. Be loving and excepting of your parents and friends, pray for them as they obviously are not spiritually in tune with Jesus or He would be their passion also.
Think of it as not a put down or hurt but a signal that you need to carry them in prayer. God will hear your cries.

ok, thank you for your kind words and advice.
I will keep in mind they are just doing their job,
being my parent. and I will pray for them also :]
You guys are great :happy:
