(un)ashamed

I went snowboarding for the first time today, and it hurt. I'm sore all over.
I needed a stress reliever, and it did the trick. Ow.

But anyway, one thing I really wanted to remember and reflect about was just the little things that I do when I'm with pre-Christians. Sometimes, I'm ashamed to pray; I'm ashamed and afraid to show my faith freely around certain people, and it really does make me feel guilty.
I feel like such a hypocrite. I'm ready to be all Christian when the need arises, but otherwise I fear revealing my faith. It reminds me of how Peter denied that he knew Jesus three times - I used to really think that Peter was an idiot and that it could never happen to me, but I do it every day. Still, he was forgiven.

"And I know I'm weak
I know I'm unworthy
To call upon Your name
But because of grace
Because of Your mercy
I stand here unashamed."
- "Unashamed," Starfield

So, here's my commitment. Live life unashamed, knowing that I undeservingly received God's grace. I demand so much, but contribute so little.
