What a day

What a day. A day of excitment, brokeness, and sadness. Along with a bit of....well lets just say Nathan.....

The exciting part about today was church. Wow how God a move throughout a little building. It is so amazing to see the fellowship grow. All the way from the kitchen table to a jam packed building! Praise and worship was awesome and Buddys sermon really moved a lot of people.....

Now for the brokeness. I came home to study and pray before I preached tonight at OSO (Oakstreet Outreach), and I wasn't sure what God wanted me to do. He gave me some verses and I prayed for God just to put me in a state of complete brokeness. Which without a doubt, He did. The Lord really moved upon me and showed me a lot. I praise Him for that!

What a sad night. Dad got a call from Dee at OSO and said that a girl over there couldn't stay. Well we took her to the Genesis Center in Kaufman, and got her a place to stay. I just pray that God would reveil Himself to her.

Nathan...what a character! Nathan is the son of Lisa, a woman that stays at OSO. I don't know what kind of disease he has but it really doesn't matter, he is something else. According to him, I'm MC2 and dad is MC1. Nathan and Lisa came with us to take the girl to GC. Also Lisa stayed at the GC for 2 months so she knew how things went there. But Nathan....wow ummm lets just say he is a chick magnet. Not only was he getting the girls at the GC, he was trying to hook me up with 2 of them! I found out that he loves to hot rod in cars, can't wait to kiss Jesus when he gets to Heaven, loves Christian rock music, and is scared to fall out of a truck. What a blessing it is to get to be around the guys at OSO. I love it, and God is good!

...so I've been thinkin'

......how things come soooo fast in life, and you don't even have a chance to look back and see what really happened. As for me being an 18 year old, my life hasn't been just some ol' walk in the park. I have times where I've been asking myself questions and trying to figure them out on my own. Oh you know, with the whole growing up thing.... trying to figure out who I am..... what I'm suppose to do with my life.....what is the truth....what's for dinner....how am I going to get some money to take Melissa out to eat....why doesn't the regular skittles package have a blue skittle( you know taste the rainbow) ???? The normal things any teen/young adult goes though daily.

wow

But sometimes when I'm alone I have to think about this. Does that all matter? Do those things really matter? I know that I'm suppose to grow up and live the American dream, nice house, pretty wife, great kids, wonderful job....but why? How I am nothing. I don't have any special talents. I am just a worm, but I am something with God. Sometimes question can flood my mind, and get me side tracked but the most important thing is God. He is my everything. That's what I want to express to everyone. I just praise Him for wrapping Himself in human flesh and coming down and dying for me. When I am no good for nothing human being, God came to deliever me. People can answer all my questions, but I have the answer for them. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things shall be added to you.

That's the only answer to my question.

.....even though some of those little issues still stay in my little 18 year old mind I know one thing
