So i keep thinking of random quesrions about life, questions i don't have the answers to but i think about so i decided to share these THOUGHTS with you, you get them fresh out of my head which could explain if they don't make most sense, but i'd love to hear your views :)
so here;'s the first one :
So here's the thought, last week i met someone that i had heard about but never met. i didn't have that much infor about them but i knew that she was a christian. When i met her she was not what i had imagined. Why is it that we auomatically have a sterotype about what a chirstian is like, how many times have you met someone with bleached hair, pericings or tatoos and thought whoa you cannot be a chirstian!!! Even within oursleves there is an expectation that you will be plain and boring no wonder no body wants to join us!!! As 'good christians' we always preach about how it's wrong to sterotype and judge people, yet sometimes i feel thats all we ever do to ourselves. Why is it so much of a shock when you meet a chirstian chearleader or california girl? When you think about a typical christain girl are they middle hight with straight brown hair and green eyes not too pretty but not ugly in jeans and a hoody. Or do you see this tall beautiful girl dressed head to toe from top shop with hilghted hair waist length hair? In our imagination of people why do we always try and take the personality out of what it means to be a chirstian? Now i know many chirstians with dyed hair, the lastest clothes and independant styles, no 2 chirstains are the same so why do i continue to sterotype them? Personally i feel like it's the vibe with give off, it's what we expect when we walk into church and few people are trying to break out of that mold. Now i don't have any answers only questions but i think the more we conciously think about it the easier it will be to make a change our view and the views of others :)
