What I am
Pastor's daughter. That's what I am. I have morals and values. I live by the word. I had a sheltered up-bringing. I even had my first kiss when I was 16 for crying out loud! For others, thats a great achievement. Cause I know that all my other friends didn't even make it past 11 or 12... And have indulged in other activities other than kissing. So, here I am, a girl with her beliefs, her opinions. I'm not always right, but when it comes to the word and if someone challenges it, you bet I'm ready to fight for my belief. Growing up with my pop being a pastor, my uncle being and pastor, my mother being a pastor, and now, my uncle being a youth pastor, I have been told the word constantly. Constantly. If I have a query, I ask my pop or mum. They tell me straight. So. Here I am. Me. A sheltered girl.
When I was growing up, my mum would always hound me about things. If I got a new boyfriend, it was "Don't you dare go kissing him! You shouldn't have a boyfriend at this age. Your too young." And you know what, she was right. And I didn't do it. Every time I got close to kissing, my mums face would suddenly appear in the reflection of the boys eyes. "Don't you DARE go kissing him!" My mums shrill voice would say in my head. A few seconds later, I was outa there. So, kissing was something that my mum thought wasn't necessary. Sex? OUT OF THE QUESTION. Drinking? "DON'T you D.A.R.E touch that or your moving out of the house!" So, naturally, I don't touch it. Who wants to go living out on the streets anyway? I don't. So, why should I involve myself in that stuff. Why would I want to go to leavers and drink myself silly? Like SOME people I know *AHEM*
To drink or not to drink? I'd rather not thankyou very much. So, what do you think of me now? An opinionated little freak of a girl? You can if you want. But I'd rather say a girl with an extremely good upbringing which was sheltered from all the wrong things. I wouldn't want to change a THING about my background. So, drinking. I wouldn't even want to BOAST that I've had a drink. Why? Why would you want to? What have you achieved? NOTHING. ZILCH. CAPPUT. For me, if I was to boast that I've been drinking, my dad would wring me around the neck. And you know what, I'm thankful. Because I know that I've been brought up right. The way that it SHOULD be. I'm a Christian. Do you have any problems?

Yeah! Stand on your beliefs! God bless!
people make mistakes... its human nature. maybe ur lucky to have the upbringing u've had but not everyone can have that. im happy with the way my parents have brought me up. they've given me freedom and ive been able to make my own choices, some of which haven't been that great but thats life. I have a great family who i love, and im happy with how I've been brought up. people aren't any better or worse because of their upbringing, because of their past or because of their opinions. I'm not proud of some of the things I've done but out of them, i can be wiser and learn from my mistakes, and help others through that. Maybe I would have been better off not making them in the first place, but then maybe not. I'm proud of who I am and I'm proud of my family, same as u are, even if i havent had the perfect upbringing. I'm not having a go at u or nething, this is just my opinion :) Its great that ur so strong in wot u believe, and i would never judge u 4 it, same as i would expect u not 2 judge me or neone else.
Jarod, I'm not being self-righteous in writing that. Thats what I believe, I don't care if you don't like it. I'm not MAKING myself sound good. And Jay, if its full on for you, then don't read my blog. Seriously, if you can't take what I have to say on MY blog, which I wrote, then don't read it! As simple as that!
AND I'm NOT dissing anyone whose had a different up bringing! I'm just telling all of YOU about MY up bringing! Is it too much for you all to take in when I talk about my upbring? Should I just DELETE my blog if you can't take me writing about my life? SERIOUSLY!
that post was full on alyce. i haven't had the same upbringing as you, i've made mistakes that you would never dream think about doing, but God doesn't love you anymore then he loves me.
everyone has their own system, their own way of making things work while still follow the Lord. you shouldn't make them feel guilty because they do something that you don't feel is right.
anyway, i don't want you to be angry, that isn't what i want. i'm just saying that you shouldn't push your ideals onto others. and i'm not just refering to this post.
love you alyce
