Cor blimey you guys crack me up - lol. When I was 15 it would have been, let's see now (counting the years) - 17 years ago, man I feel old now, lol. Oh, my husband loves reggae though, he'd be the one to talk to about it.
Oh I sooo know what you are talking about. When I became a Christian 9 years ago the need for alcohol thankfully was taken away from me and because I didn't "feel the need for it or to party anymore" alot of my so called "friends" wanted nothing more to do with me either. Unfortunately it's just that your life has changed (for the better definitely) and you are a brand new person now that you are a born again Christian and it looks and sounds to me like you are going through some persecution from the people in your life. Christ said to his followers that they must "take up their crosses to follow him" and that "blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness". Christ was persecuted too because he spoke to truth. My first answer would be is there anyone in your church or near to you who would be able to pray for you and intercede for you? Sometimes there are people who have a special ministry in what you have been through. Secondly let your "light shine so men will see your good deeds....." (matt 5:16) and there is also another verse: Luke 8 A Lamp on a Stand 16"No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. Whenever my "friends" hassled me about drinking and partying with them I remembered how lonely and sad my life was when I was into my former lifestyle. I dont know about you but there is no way I would ever go back to drinking etc anymore. Let me know how you are getting on - I will be praying for you.
Oooooh yes please send me a pumpkin pie recipe if you have one - that would be great!!! It sounds delicious!!! I've also never tried cornbread or cranberry sauce. What other food do you have at thanksgiving? We have turkey here so I know what that's like.
