I got saved on Sunday!
I'd been saved for a while, I think, but God wanted me to walk to the altar and say so. It was absolutely terrifying and looking at it in hindsight I can hardly fathom I actually worked up the courage, but I know it was only the fact that I was in God's will that I was able to. I prayed the night before that if He wanted me to walk up there to give me some kind of sign at the sermon. And so then the sermon was all about tests from God and faith needing to cost you something, because if it doesn't it's worth just as much. I knew then I needed to swallow people's image of me and just do what I needed to. After all, if He could die on a public cross for me, couldn't I take a few steps in front of the church to acknowledge it?

...Man. A printed-out terrorist blown full of holes and God in the same blog post. I imagine I'm seriously reinforcing those stereotypes about the south.
Ah well. There are definitely worse reputations!
P.S.S.
The ending to Avatar: The Last Airbender. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. ;_;
I'M TEAR-BENDING.
