Judgmental

Right now in my creative writing class, we’re work shopping each other’s poems. I was reading a girl’s poem that talked about the silence she gets out of church and how she feels alone. I wrote to her that, as a Christian, I felt bad for her and that I hoped she would someday hear more than silence from God. Apparently, she took great offense to this. And, it turns out she’s dating one of my very good friends from high school. So he found me on facebook and came after me. To her, I was judgmental and harsh. I did my best to explain to him that I meant no harm or judgment. Hopefully, by the time some of you read this, I will have personally talked to her and gained back at least a little respect. It’s funny how my faith blows up in my face as much as it does anything else. The ratio of how many people i’ve converted to how many people i’ve turned off from God is zero to some number. That number probably isn’t too big, but bigger than the former. I realize there’s not much I can do other than pick up where I left off and keep going with my faith. But for now, I just want you all to give me a great complement and tell me it will be okay. Thank you and have a nice day.
