long, long, but not too too bad
Ok sorry ya’ll, I know this one has been long in coming. I’m going to go ahead and just skip to the really cool part. I don’t remember stuff from last week hardly so yeah, I’ll start on Friday night. Friday after our basketball game in Holden, which we won, I drove home to shower. Then headed to the prayer room at the Annex where I was going to meet Dustan Anderson, T. Berry, and Paul Mousso.
Mickey had told me earlier in the day that when he went it was only him and it was real peaceful, so I had that in mind when I opened the door to the Annex. What I heard though was loud shouting and praying in tongues and stuff. I had no idea what was going on, so I waited outside and tried to distinguish who was in there. It turned out it was Tweez, Charles Young, JP, Aliece Cole, Haviland, and one girl from Elevate whose name I can’t remember. It was so awesome; I had a hard time concentrating at first because of how loud it was; all I could say was “amen” to what they where praying.
I eventually got into the flow and it was amazing. I just felt God breaking me down. It was real emotional. Then Mike busted out the guitar and Tweeze grabbed the Gimbae and we had some really good worship. Then Charles had the idea of going outside and praying and stuff. It was really cool.
Eventually Tweeze decided that we were going to go to Wal-Mart and buy some sleeping bags and hand them out to homeless people. It was really cool. We me this guy named Bradford Sullivan and he started preaching to us. Boy he could talk.
Saturday I went to the prayer room early in the morning and then later that night from 10:00-1:20. It was so awesome. I just feel that God is trying to teach me to care for those that He cares about and love those that he loves. Sometimes it so easy to get caught up with ourselves and our problem or even caught up in searching for God’s will for “Our” lives that we forget about those that God has called us to reach. So yeah it was really cool.
Then Sunday morning Pastor Dino’s message just affirmed it even more. And then of course Vision night was awesome; again about caring for the “them” and reaching the “them”.
After Vision Night charles and Kristen came to our house to eat and have coffee. It was really cool getting to talk to them and really listening to them. I got to ask them how they knew they where called and when the timing was right and stuff. It was really cool.
Then I drove me and Charles to the annex where we would leave to go hand out sleeping bags again. It was really like being “fisher’s of men” because we couldn’t find any guys so we kept driving around “fishing.”
Then this morning me, mickey and Shae all went to the prayer room at 9:15 to 11:30ish. It was really good. We went eat at dynasty then I went back to the prayer room for another hour before I had to leave for practice.
But this last prayer was so good because I was by myself. I didin’t have to worry if I was too loud or anything and esp. wasn’t thinking if they where listening to my prayers, which is a bad habit I sometimes have.
But yeah, this weekend was just really good for me. I had grown complacent at school as being know as the head “Christian” guy. I don’t ever want to be comfortable. I want God to shake me and disturb me into action again. I want to have compassion on those He loves. I want to be moved to action. I don’t ever want to just “exist” where I’m at. I’m learning to just wait on God. I’ve been in this hype over mission stuff and elevate and I just really feel that God isjus saying to chill and soak Him up. To just get to know Him better and to learn his Characteristics and attitudes. I wanna be like my Jesus. I want to partake of His suffering. I wanna be tested and persecuted. I think one of the hardest things I’m facing is “living” for Him. I’m ready to die for Him, but am I ready to live?
Sorry that it’s all jumbled up and weird. I had and still have a bunch of stuff on my mind, but there’s no way I can type all of it. So yeah, that’s it.
