Church Struggle - Am I The Only One?

Now on to the real deal holy-field ... I am OVER CHURCH! Whew .. that feels really good to say. When I was younger and I went to church is not the same church that I see today. I first felt this struggle when I went off to college. The church I would go to would HARP on giving, and basically made me feel horrible for not being able to give.   I don't care that it is 10% of what I have, if I don't have enough to sustain my living situation, I'm not giving it . I would see students giving their LAST, when they knew their parents wouldn't be sending any money for another week or two, so that they could get a blessing. I saw these same students packing extra food up to sneak back to the dorms because they had no more money. Because they were counting on that "blessing" you promised them to come through when they have you their last $20. Yes Jesus only ask for 10% of that, but there is always a program that is asking for a lending hand.  I think at this point ...

Update Reader Letter : They Want My Baby

HHHHEEYYYYHHHOOOO!! Remember Brittany from Pregnant by my Youth Director?   Well Miss Ma'am has emailed me back with a follow up and I am LIVID!! I am now personally talking to her because this is just wrong. This blog has become a way bigger thing than me and if you write me, I'm going to help you. Her issue has so many topics I want to speak about, and I will, but for right now I'm just trying to open her eyes. Dear Miss Shanice, I told my mom and she was pretty upset. I have been talking to HIM and he really hasn't been supportive. He won't answer my calls and completely ignores me in church. I texted him what did I do to him to make him treat me like this and he said, not getting an abortion. That really mad me upset so I went and told my mom who the baby of my unborn child was. She didn't believe me until I showed her a message from him. I thought she would be upset about reading the abortion part but she was just mad at me for being a "stupid gi...

18 and Pregnant by My Youth Director - Reader Letter

Dear Shanice, My name is Brittany and I am an 18 year old college student. I started college at the age of 17. During the summer, I came back home and my mother got me a job working for the churches summer camp. I was supervised by our youth director. Now I have always thought my youth director was very attractive but he was engaged and I knew I wasn't his type. He had been my youth director for two years. One day I was cleaning the kitchen and he came up behind me. He wrapped his arms around me and said he just wanted to thank me for helping him. I told him, no problem and thanked him for the job. Every now and then he would hug me, touch me, or stare at me for a long time. He started flirting with me and telling me his personal issues with his fiance and it made me fall for him. Yes, I know I was stupid, but I really liked him. At the end of the summer we take the kids on a week long cabin trip. Everyone who had worked on the program goes. One night we w...
