u think you kno... Posted by poolboyjames on September 9, 2010 at 3:44 PM comments (0)so today at work some lady came in and she looked weird to me.. she looked like the coffee guy from mad tv actually.. (maybe i'll post a picture later)
so time passes and she strikes up a conversation about God with another girl and i look over to see what it is she has to say.. she acknowledged this by saying something like "i see u looked over.. so what do u believe?" i was like i'm a Christian then she's like.. "are you on fire for Christ?" i was like "i don't know how to answer that" because to me it was like she wanted me to cosign her alotted level of excitement or zeal which i refuse to do, i refuse to be cornered in my speech.. what does "i'm on fire for Christ" mean? i don't have to live up to your religious slang.. i'm a Christian period.. if u ask me "james, are you googly-eyed for Christ?" i'm not going to say yes, i'm simply going to say i'm a Christian but the problem with this was it didn't stop, she kept asking me questions like she was trying to find fault in me somewhere so she could point to how wrong i am in some way, shape, or form i don't know how many questions she asked me and i was just sitting there! ...here's part of what was said: "so what are you thinking?" "i'm not thinking anything" "what do u have to say?" i'm sitting here like.. ok why am i being singled out here? and i don't like being put in the spotlight in public so much because i grew up getting noticed TOO MUCH for being the only black representative at school for years.. and i'm not complaining about my past, but i'm pointing out that that sort of thing stays with u.. i am fine in public but a lot of attention is unwanted to me so i began to grow agitated.. i'm like "i have nothing to say.. what are u asking me? .. are u asking me if i believe in Christ?" "yeah, well no what i mean is u say u believe in Christ now, but if you are put in a position where u have to deny youself, would u still claim Christ?" i was like "yes." she didn't like this answer... i think she felt it was too easy for me to say that so then i got called to help in another room and she said "well i hope u get tested in this area" which REALLY got under my skin so i gave her a thumbs up and laughed at her i was irritated by the whole thing but when she said she hopes i'm tested i was like beginning to really steam for real because to me that was like saying i hope something bad happens to u.. like i know Christians have not always had such simple lives and i don't want to have to go through what some Christians in the past have endured so once i got done doing what i was doing in the other room i came out and the lady was gone and they told me my boss made up a fake task for me to do to get me away from that irritating lady they saw how she was trying to do me when i was just at work trying to do my thing in peace... so i was like wow.. THANKS HEATHER (my boss) and calmed back down why do religious people do this? look just say what u have to say stop with the questions, stop with the beating around the bush.. stop with trying to find faults and incriminate people.. just share your story or ur word and go on about ur business u don't need to be all in my business to give me a word.. other than that.. GO ABOUT UR BUSINESS I DONT CARE WHO U ARE WHAT UR RELIGION IS, WHAT U ARE SELLING, WHAT U WANT ME TO THINK.. get ur approach right or don't approach me at all.. i have the Holy Spirit which is leading me into all truth so ur approach better be on point because to be honest i really doubt that i need whatever u (a mere human) are trying to impress on me ESPECIALLY if its not from a place of humility GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT peaCe
