i have trouble remembering i'm a christian sometimes... i'm pretty devoted at home, but when it comes to the rest of the world, i just forget completely about God! sweatdrop any advice for reminding myself throughout the day?

Hmm... I have this problem often times too... I bet praying about it every evening and/or morning would be helpful. Maybe carry around a little cross or something in your pocket to remind you, or even carry your Bible around with you (I did that all through highschool). I think it is mostly an issue of practice. We gotta practice keeping our eyes on the Lord all the time. Unfortunately, it's really easy to get lazy and start watching whatever's right infront of us instead, like unhelpful movies and ... stuff...
Hey! You should try reading one of the books by Liz... something Higgs. I don't know about her other stuff, but she has a really good trilogy starting with 'Thorn in my Heart' that mirrors the life of Jacob and Rachel and Leah from out of the Bible. I was just looking for a good read and was surprised at how helpful it was! ^ ^

lol, yeah, christian media can be a really good source of inspiration and strength and all that. Just because it's fiction, doesn't mean it doesn't have a good point. And yes, good christian music can be uplifting as well. Toby Mac is a good example ^ ^ I also like Jars of Clay and Jeremy Camp, but there are tons more out there.
And I do believe relate is the word your looking for... it fits anyway. ^ ^
