Have you ever been the minority?

Ever since I moved to the Rio Grande Valley, I have been a minority. The majority of the population as I am sure you could assume is Hispanic. Being a minority has never been that big of a deal, at least when it comes to race.

Since my last blog, I started going to public school down here where as before I was home-schooled. This in itself was a huge adjustment, but one of the biggest was my school being so culturally diverse and I was still one of the smallest minorities. In my school there are so many different cultures and races, along with that comes a lot of religious diversity. I found out that Christianity was not the majority here either. So, basically I was a minority in all aspects. Strange. In Kentucky, I was the majority in all aspects. This was kind of difficult to take in for a while, but like I said, being the minority because I am white has never really bothered me. Being the minority as a Christian did.

That part still bothers me, but really only because I am heartbroken that so many don't know that God loves them and He wants a personal relationship with them. I don't want Christianity to be the minority there. God has given me this great opportunity to be a light for Him. I am thankful for that.

I would like to point out something very cool real quick about my school being so culturally diverse. It is that although we are so culturally diverse at my school, we all come together and are friends and love each other and it doesn't really matter where anyone is from or what they look like. I don't see this happening very often, but I wish it would. It is a pretty awesome thing!

Please pray that not only I, but all the other Christians in my school can shine for Him and change our school.

God bless you.
