My faith...

I'm sad, but I'm woman enough to admit that I don't always outwardly portray my faith. I know that I am called to do so, but sometimes I feel like people will think less of me because of it. In modern society, those who are "well educated" are atheists, or agnostics... If you even consider faith in something or someone higher, you're cast off as an idiot or someone who isn't as educated.
I've always thought of myself as smart. I'm a nerd, what can I say? I love to learn. Science and math are my favorite subjects. I agree with almost EVERYTHING most people would think I don't agree with. But, because I have a faith in God, people assume I'm uneducated. I hate it. I don't want to be seen that way. I've worked hard for my education... But my faith and commitment to God is something that deserves my attention more.
It's for that reason, I've decided to stop caring about what other's think. I'm done giving into peer pressure and trying to be somebody "cool." If people don't like me as a hard working, well educated, mother and follower of Christ- they don't have to be around me. I'm done pretending and hating myself later because I didn't portray a myself as a Christian.
I'm called to live my life a certain way. I'm set apart. I'm told that it won't be easy... But I also KNOW, without a doubt, that there is more.. that ever hardship and all my suffering is not in vain.

So, I want to clear up some assumptions... Ask me anything about my faith. Ask me about the beliefs you assume I have, or that I don't have. I will answer everything honestly.
