Apologetics - A new found passion...

Random picture from 6/30/2009


The class I thought that was going to kill me, is actually not. It is a wondeful class that is really making me question why I am a Christian and what makes me who I am. I am able to ask myself, "why am I a Christian?" Is it because it was a popular thing people were doing at the time? I am able to see myself in a different light and it has just opened up my eyes greatly. Not only am I learning about myself, I am also learning about other world religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Scientology...etc. It's so interesting to see the difference in religions. I never thought I would be interested in such facts, but now that I am in the class, I am thankful for all I am learning. I never understood the whole idea behind apologetics, now I do.

I have realized that I am thankful for Liberty University. I enjoy being able to learn in setting where God is the center of the study. This university is really helping me see what kind of person I want to be. A career in Loss Prevention is something I have always wanted to do, however, after taking a few classes, I want to be able to do something that affects peoples lives. I want to be able to work with children who are hurting, lacking Jesus, committing crimes... I want to be able to reach out to them. Who knows what's in store for me now...

Virginia is just that cool. Everytime I look out of my living room window, I see hills that remind me of the beautiful scenery there. I would love to live down there!
