A Light In a Dark Place

I recently got a job at Chili's, and it didn't take long for me to realize that I am the only Christian who works there, at least the only one who is vocal about it.

I really enjoy working at Chili's and I love all the people who work there, it is a great group of people to work with, but I quickly realized that I have a much larger responsibility to these people then just simply being their co-worker.
Chili's is a fairly "dark" place in regards to Jesus and his Spirit, seeing as no one there is really a believer and many of them have very corrupted minds.

At, first I was honored and excited that I was the only Christian there because I thought this would be such an amazing evangelistic opportunity, I however have been quickly boggled down and drained.
The goal of many of my coworkers, at least the male ones, is to corrupt me and take away my innocence and naivety. They are constantly making filthy, perverted jokes, that I am completely clueless as to why they are funny, and then I am teased for my innocence all throughout my shift.

I am not offended or annoyed at the situation but it didn't take long to realize that being a light in a dark place is a lot harder than it seems. I have to constantly be on my guard and guarding myself, and I have to be constantly asking Jesus to fill me with wisdom, strength and words to continue on. Fighting "alone" can be exhausting.

The great thing is, even though from an outsiders perspective I look like I am fighting alone and I am fighting against all odds. I have the Almighty Jesus Christ on my side, who knows no limitations or boundaries.

If I didn't have that hope to cling to daily, I don't think I could make it through my shifts everyday.
