When I was a tween and young teenager, I was all about wearing Christian things. I had a cross necklace, a Fear Not shirt, and a WWJD bracelet (I guess that dates me!). As I got older, I started to become more uncomfortable wearing these symbols publicly. I felt like people who saw me should see Christ in my actions, not in my clothes. I also felt pretentious. I didn't want to be viewed as the kind of Christian who would wear a Jesus shirt just to show off. And of course, there was always the fear that I would act a fool while wearing a cross and give God a bad name. So I put my cross away.
