Unapologetically Christian

This week has had a rough to start to say the least. I was really looking forward to this stress-free week with no tests, but that quickly changed on Monday morning. Monday was spent worrying and freaking out about the wreck, and Tuesday was spent pretty sore. Every Tuesday night A&M has a praise and worship session called Breakaway (Random Fact: A&M has the largest percentage of professing Christian students than any other campus in America--including private schools). It is held over in Reed Arena in West Campus and starts at 9. Reed is about a 20 minute walk on a good day from my dorm, and so most nights I have to leave my room by 8:20 to get over there and find a seat, and often times don't get home until 10:45 or 11. It's AWESOME, but does take up most of Tuesday nights.

So yesterday a friend from camp, Allie, texted me asking if I was planning on going. At the time I wasn't sure, I was exhausted and sore, but I promised her I would meet up with her and we could sit together. She called me telling me that she had saved us seats in a certain section, and so when I walked over to that section I saw somebody else sitting with her. It ended up being my supervisor from this summer who I absolutely love! She is super busy and heads up A&M's Christian Dance Company and so I haven't been able to see her much since classes started. She had heard about my wreck though and when she had run into Allie and Allie told her we were sitting together, Anne stuck around for a few minutes to surprise me! It was SUCH a lovely surprise getting to see her!

Breakaway was phenomenal as usual. One thing that the speaker said was that we should be "unapologetically Christian". It kinda blew my mind, but that statement is SO true! We should never hide our Christianity from people because we are afraid of what they will say. We shouldn't ever be sorry for being Christians, and we should never portray the "halfway Christian" attitude in order to try and not offend somebody. Christ should be in us 100% of the time, regardless who we are around. Unapologetically Christian! HOW AWESOME?!
