November 3, 2010

Somedays I wish I could be a professional novelist. I am writing a book right now, I have been for years, but sometimes I just want to move off to the beach so I can write for eternity. My inspiration would then, in turn, vanish. So that messes up that plan.

When I write, I write from life experience. I write down all of my stories that God has allowed me to be apart of and experience, and I use them as a reminder of what life is all about: The good and the bad. The funny and the disturbing. The 'hey let's go jump off this rock!' times, and the 'oh maybe that wasn't such a great idea' afteraffects. This is me. This is what's up.

Went to New Orleans this weekend. I don't even know how to describe it in words. God taught me so much through what happened.

First Lesson: When your good friend has a seisure (not sure how to spell that, where is mozilla firefox spellcheck when I need it?!?), PRAY. Pray pray pray. Know that God is in control. Make the best out of every situation. That is what we did this weekend, and it makes me so happy and joyful that everyone was respectful and happy- even though 6 hours in the hospital waiting rooms. I love you BCMer's!!

Second Lesson: MAKE DISCIPLES!! Don't just evangelize, evangelize with your life and then continue on with discipling them! You can't just make Christians and then expect them to do it on their own; show love, get involved in peoples lives, don't care so much about the numbers of 'oh this is how many were saved this weekend', care more about the quallity that you are giving and showing people. Care about them, not just the numbers.

Third Lesson: Don't go to Burbon street on the Saturday night right before Halloween. I got my 'first kiss' (haha not really- but a guy did make out with my window I might add) this night. It was horrific. My spirit has never been so disturbed in all of my life. God worked through this night though, and he protected us through it all. I love how He works.

Fourth Lesson: God is bigger and stronger than anything I can even imagine. When I imagine the biggest and strongest and most powerful He can be, I am so underestimating Him even then. This makes me feel happy and safe.

Fifth Lesson: It's ok to dance it up and have a good time with my friends. That's pretty much all we did in our 12 hour rides too and from AR. I love to dance and sing. This is my personal revelation though this weekend. One of my new favorite songs is "Jenny from the Block" by Jlo. Pretty legit, if I do say so myself.

I am ready to go out and make disciples now. Sooo ready. I have two in mind right now that God has given me to love on them. My prayer this week is that I can adequately show God's love like he would want me to to these people, and whoever else I am around. To be a good influence, and light shinner for God.

Peace out.
