So today I was again told that I am very "sheltered." I have been.called "goody goody" and sheltered my whole life. Normally I would be offended because to me those words mean stupid and unknowing. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that says a lot (hopefully) of what is important to me.
I don't need to know what pipes are used for what drugs. I don't need to know the sexual referances and jokes. I don't need to know the slang terms for homos and les. I don't care.
I want to return to my Father in Heaven. I want to be cleansed through my Savior Jesus Christ. I want to know how to receive more revelation. I want to know how to have more meaningful prayers. I want to know how to make people smile and brighten other's life. I want to know what I need to do to become the woman Heavenly Father wants me to be.
If all of this constitutes me as "sheltered" and "goody goody" then so be me. I am here to become more like Christ. To follow in HIS footsteps. Not the world's. The world can not teach me to become a better person and how to repent.
Please do not missunderstand me. I am not trying to put myself on a pedistool. I am not trying to be cauky. All I want to show is that I know what my purpose is and if I am to be "sheltered" by it and not "street smart," be it so.
Just a little thought there....
