I'm sorry guys for not posting the Chapter 2 of the "The Unexpected". I have a very hectic and rough month, because of school.
I have one (1) thesis, one (1) case analysis, one (1) reporting, one (1) declamation, one (1) documentary video clip, and two weeks from now I'm going to have my Final exams. So I'm so sorry if I can't post the chapter 2.
And now that I mention about the declamation that I will perform on this coming Tuesday. I will declame, "Taken For Granted", pity.. cause I don't know who wrote this declamation. For me, this is the perfect piece. I can't perform a piece that is connected with love, family, friendship and having too much drama. Because I guess those kind of piece are so common, and besides I'm having a trouble acting being angry to somebody and those crying scences blah-blah-blah and I don't even know why. <3 Well, I'm just that type of girl who don't want that so-drama-queen-for-crying-out-loud.
Taken For Granted
"Christians? Christians?"
Have you heard that call? They're looking for me. That's definitely me. You're in doubt and why? You want me to give you proofs? Oh! That's very easy.
Who told you to doubt that I'm a Christian? I am a Christian. How? I went to church, I pray, I have my religion, I read the Bible, I love kids and I am giving them what they want, I sing gospel songs.
Can't you see?? I am the true definition of a Christian.
What?! You want to ask me more?! ... I'll think about it. Hmmmmm... Ok! I'm sure I'll be able to answer all your question fluently. Go! Ask me!
You're asking me if I go to church every Sunday? I told you!
I-GO-TO-CHURCH ... B-b-but not every Sunday.
Why?! I-I-I have a project every other Sunday. Yes r-r-right, I have a project. The Lord understands that.
I'm not a liar. I'm telling you the truth in fact I went to church last three Sundays straight and Oh my gosh Chris is so cute especially when he's playing his guitar. Oooops...
Ok fine. I went to church three times straight without absent b-because of C-Chris. He's cute, he's talented. But of course I'm still there for the Lord. At least I go to church. Right? Right?
Sssshhhhh. Don't shout! I'm not a fake Christian. I read the Bible, I open it... Everytime the pastor is telling me to do so.
Ok Stop. Why do we need to argue? I guess I really don't know what Christianity is?
You want to know the truth? Ok! I got to church not because of Christ but because of Chris. I'm sleeping and sometimes texting every time that there is a sermon. I don't read my Bible because I guess that's boring. I sing.. "Here I am to worship; here I am to bow down. Here I am to say that you're my God" with matching raising my hands and closing my eyes but the truth is I'm not sincere with that. I give gifts, I share my blessing to the poor, I have my religion. Because I thought it will be credited in His name.
Right, Ephesians 2 : 8-9 was right. "It is not by work that I will be saved because Jesus Christ is the only way". And I am so wrong. I don't even mind his sacrifices on the cross. I am supposed to be there because those are my sins. I forgot my purpose here on Earth; But you know what? He's been good to me. But I always take him for granted. I always do things not for His glory but for my own. I'm so ashamed. Despite of it, He still forgave and loves me.
Now, I'm talking and standing in front of you and I don't care if you are going to laugh at me. I care to tell you things that I believed I must tell you. He won everything in me and guess what? He's been waiting for you too... If you believed that you have Him. You may now shout what Carman once wrote.
"Jesus is the Champion"
