Hmmmmmm….. there are so so so so so so so many things I could write.
I could write about my new addiction to hymns…
The past week I have been singing “It Is Well”, “Come Thou Fount”, and my personal favorite: “TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS!!!” They are all so powerful! I feel like when the Lord breaks in with revival He brings new songs. Back during the first great awakening there were so many songs written, and during David’s day there were many songs written. Now the big thing is writing songs based off of scripture!! The Lord is bringing forth new music but I like the hymns and lately I’ve been going at hymns.
I could write about my new class…
My “Life of David” class has started. We only had one class last week but it was really good. Matt Chandler is the teacher for that class. He mentioned the importance of our voices and he talked about how each and every one of us are daily writing our story and that really hit me. Everyday David or Daweeee in Jewish
was writing a story. He also talked about God’s love for stories how Jesus always told stories and how stories are the easiest way to recieve Revelation or to understand something. The class has been really good so far and I will be in class in an hour and a half!
I could write about work!!!
So I have been working like mad style. I worked Tues, Wed, Thurs, Sunday, Today, Tomorrow, Thursday, and Sat… about 5 days a week. It has been really intense. Last Thurs. the Lord really spoke to me while I was in the prayer room and He told me that He wanted me to become bold about my faith at work. On Tues. and Wed. people were asking me where I went to school and I would tell them all that I was going to a small school and that was it! It didn’t even mention the fact that it was a Bible School or anything like that. So the Lord wanted me to be bold. I was kind of nervous but He is so good and He is God so if He wants to use me to do something I need to trust in Him and believe that nothing is impossible with Him.
Thursday night I went into work and we had our usual waiter’s meeting where we talk about the specials and other such things and at the end of the 5-10 min meeting I asked the manager if I could say a quick prayer for the night, he told me that it might not be fair because different people pray to different gods. I then told said that in my prayer I would just say God and not be specific and everyone was ok with that. I then said a short prayer and that was that, but throughout the night people began coming up to me and asking me about my faith. I began telling them that I was going to the Int’l House of Prayer and it was cool.
I show up for work yesterday and God breaks in again, this time I didn’t even expect it!! This one guy comes up to me and asks me, “So is it hard not being able to marry anyone?” I was like WHA!?! He then told me that his college professor told him that if he wanted to become a Christian that he would have to give up his girlfriend and not get married because Christians are not allowed to get married. I told him that what his professor told him was a lie. He then told me that Jesus was not married and neither was Paul and that we are supposed to be like them. I then told him that God created us man and woman and that he wanted relationships to happen since the beginning of time and that in the end there will be a wedding.
Next thing I know the topic is the world coming to an end soon. EVERYONE AT MY WORKPLACE THINKS THE WORLD WILL END!!!!! INSANE!!!! They were really interested to hear from me what Christians believe. I told them many Christians believe in a lie that they will be raptured before the bad things and most of them had heard of “Left Behind” so that was cool. I then told them that I believe that Jesus is going and people that don’t know him will go to hell and I told them many other things… Then this one guy said that one of his religious teachers taught his class about revelation and he said that the water turning to blood happened with the flood, and the earth being scorched with fire happened when the dinasours died… I didn’t really know what to say I was definitly surprised. I told him that these things will happen together and that they will all take place within 7 yr’s (Daniel). Wow I have typed alot…
So yeah that it work in a very short version…
Another thing to write about….
The Lord has been teaching me about Matthew 5:5. “Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.” Meek (adjective)- quiet, gentle, submissive. The Lord has been teaching me how to be meek…..
I shall continue this later I GOTTA GO TO CLASSSSSSSSSSS
