For the last 3 years I have attended a Christian college, surrounded by people of like faith and such. This past year at school I was surrounded by so many vibrant and seeking Christians that I was continually built up and encouraged in my fatih. It was easy to talk about God, we ALWAYS did. Almost no converstation went undone without the mention of God.
Now for the last almost 4 weeks of summer I have been working at an academic camp. There are a few Christians here, but not everyone. I guess it's been weird for me to adapt to the new atmosphere, but I know this is part of growing and this is reality. I won't always be in a bubble of encouragement and around all my friends who believe in God and are really expressive about their faith. This is reality, this is how life is...so to adapt is important. I have just been learning how to be ME in the midst of a lot of people who value different things or have a different faiths/religions than me or even those who don't beleive in God at all. It's been a few years since I have been in this environment. It is here that I seem to find out where I really am in my walk with God because I don't have the comfort of the norm.
