Hi there.

If you took the time to check this blog, it’s probably because you were looking for something to do, felt a bit bored or wanted to check up on what was going on for me this week. Well could you take the time that you set apart for the reading of this blog to pray for me, right now? Oh, I’ll tell you why.

I’ll be working for my mom and her boyfriend from Monday night to Thursday night this week. It means that I will be with them and live with them for three full days. They are not Christians and I quickly get fed up with their lifestyle. I don’t think that my mom’s boyfriend really knows what I believe, he simply knows that my sisters and I and our families, go to church, are pastors or such. I’d like to be able to talk to him about what I believe and know what he believes. But I am no good at arguing any case. I am weak in speech and my mom’s boyfriend enjoys arguing and I’ve never seen him change his mind or even be influenced to change his mind by what someone would say. I just feel that talking to him about Jesus would be useless since I wouldn’t have anything very convincing to say and he’d have all kinds of stuff to attack me. It’s not that I care so much about his opinion of me, but I don’t want Christ to look weak and a nonsense because of me. I know that sometimes it’s the way it is, no matter the words Christians say, unbelievers can still look down on them and their God. So I’m not sure. Sometimes I feel that my mom and her boyfriend need words of truth, not just the presence of godly people around them. I often feel powerless.

Pray that I will not simply be a nice person to their eyes, like every other nice person they know. Pray that I will humbly live the life that Christ calls me to live, that I will pray for them and that they will see Christ as real, alive and powerful in my life. That I would be a follower of Christ and that it’d be obvious to their eyes.

I thank you for taking the time to pray for me right now.
