Who is Christian Robertson?

  Have you ever noticed all the sounds you hear on rainy days? I have. I think the reason is because I love rainy days. It's pretty much a hobby. I enjoy the raindrop's sound when it hits the pavement at a quiet and steady rate outside of my balcony door. I enjoy the subtle roll of thunder that comes every now and then. But I think my favorite sound is when I hear a car roll down the street against the wet road. The sound is very distinctive and like the thunder, you can not tell it's coming. That is what makes it so great.

  I always long for a rainy day when I don't have anything to do.Today is one of those days. A day where most of my time was spent in my apartment relaxing and enjoying the weather, soaking it all in if you will. I feel that if I have a super busy day on a rainy day like this, the day is wasted. It is a perfect chance to read a book, watch some movies, or write...

  Christian is a Christian. If I had a dime for every time I was in a situation and that statement was made, I would be incredibly rich right now. It happens so much that I actually make bets against myself rather someone will say it throughout the day. It is actually quite funny. As soon as I say my name, my brain starts to smile and I believe it knows that the statement is about to be made. So my brain probably tells my heart, which makes it race. Then after all of that happens, my soul has a party because it knows that it is ten cents richer. However, on the outside, I reply with "Yes, I get that a lot". 

  I always think of the alternative though. What if I were not a Christian? How uncomfortable would the other person feel if I said with a grim look, "No, I am not". I believe all conversation would probably be cease because of the suddenly increased level of awkwardness that has come up. I would probably get a nice little chuckle out of it. Actually, probably a huge chuckle as I turned and walked away. 

  I love when I am asked the question, "Christian, why are you a Christian"? I love it because I have the opportunity to share the story of my life and share how important of a role God has in my life. I tell them that my mom did not know she was pregnant with me for majority of the time. She had a serious drug problem and was living life as if she was just living for herself. Finally, she found out she was pregnant with me and the doctors told her that things did not look too well for the baby. I had tumors and all sorts of birth defects because of all the drug use. They said I was literally a vegetable. They suggested that she get an abortion and she agreed. She went to the hospital that day and something told her not to do it. At this time, my grandmother and her best friend was praying very hard for my mom and for God to intervene. Well, He did. She got up off the table and left and came back home to Morgan City. She decided to go through with the birth despite what the doctors insisted, despite them saying that if the baby was born, he would die within a short amount of time. Fast forward to October 15, 1989 in Morgan City, La. a healthy baby boy was born. No defects, no tumors, no problems. I'm not sure if the doctors were Christians or not, but they said that I am a "Miracle Baby". To this day, that is my reason for the life I choose to live. A life that brings honor and thanks to Christ because He saved me before I was even born. 

  So who is Christian you ask? Well, that can be quite of few things, but most importantly? I am a Christian. I strive to show Godly love and to let my light shine to each and every person around me, and I truly desire to see them come into a relationship with the God who saved my life. He loved me that much. He loves you that much. So with that, what is your story? Until next time...

The First

  I believe that Doug Funnie probably taught guys that it was cool to write about your day, your thoughts, and all of your secrets on paper. The cooler thing about this was that we didn't have to call them "diaries" like our female counterparts did. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with diaries or girls, but at the age where "cooties" still existed, I did not want anything to do with either. Therefore, I am glad Nickelodeon created "Doug", which helped guys gain confidence and the peace that it is totally cool to write about anything they pleased without being made fun of. So if you are secretly saying to yourself, "Aww, Christian is writing an online diary. How cute!" My response to that is this: "It is not a diary! It is a journal! There is a difference!"

 

  I remember my first journal. It was a black and white spotted composition book, just like Doug Funnie had. Of course I had to start off every entry with "Dear Journal...". Even though I did not write about "The Adventures of Quailman" or my crush on Pattie Mayonnaise, I believe I still had some interesting stuff to say. Much of it was about my life and growing up in Morgan City, La,  and living in a house full of girls. Anything that happened in our house, or in my town, was quite interesting and usually ended up in my little composition book. I would write and write for hours because I always had a lot to say.  This was probably because I did not say much to anyone, so when I was able to write, it would be more like novel entries. 

   I was very quiet and incredibly shy growing up. It took me until I reached high school to finally gain some confidence to at least laugh at some of the jokes that my friends told. It was that bad. My grandmother raised my brother and I. My aunt and her two daughters lived with us as well and they did all the talking. There was rarely a dull moment with my family. They are all jokesters. My family could probably teach a class on Sarcasm, they have it mastered. I love my family though. They are incredible. The thing I like about them most is the importance of being together often. We have huge family functions on a regular basis. If the weather's nice on a given weekend, rest assured there will be some kind of seafood or BBQ at someone's house and everyone will be there! I am grateful for that and I can say that my family has had a big part in shaping the person I am today. 

  It took me a while to decide how I wanted to start my blogging experience. I received some very good tips from Bri Blakeney on how to make this whole thing happen. I figured touching on a little about my family would be a great way to start off.  What I would for anyone who happens to read any of my blogs is merely a peak of what goes on inside my life. There are many times when I would hang out with friends and inspiration would hit me and I would think, "Wow, this would be great to write about". Be excited, I have some good things to share with all of you and I just hope that you enjoy reading them just as much as I enjoy writing them. Until next time...
