Blown Away.

So, God just keeps blowing me away. Ever since Sunday at Church when I remembered Love, it's just been one thing after another. and It's non-stop blown away amazingly awesome. Today has just been full of God, I have seen and heard him everywhere today and had one of those days I felt like I was in the middle of Gods will.

I won't lie, i didn't wake up in the brightest of moods and my initial thought wasn't God's going to do a bunch of huge things today. I wasn't thinking the Revolution is happening today. I went to class like normal and toward the end of Adv Illustration I get a text from Ashley Lawler saying "hey are you in class?" meaning if your not I need you/to talk/to something. So I get out and call her and we talked and got somethings figured out. I kind of skipped Printmaking though to talk to her, I felt like classes are important, but sometimes people are more important. Sherri sends me a text saying Amber her old roommate had asked her to pray for her! (she was agnostic/atheiest/not-a-Jesus-Lover...yet) amazing!

So after I leave that I eat and go to find Jack to apologize for missing class and show him my sketches. (My sketches that I actually had time to do and to put effort into and that looked pretty good yesterday, which is one of the first times I've put effort into printmaking sketches). He was a little aggravated because I missed and I said I was sorry that I just had something that came up that I needed to care of. In a brief "humph" he sarcastically asked if I had my sketches, when I broke them out in color, he quickly changed his attitude. I missed the demo, but its ok. I went back and read part of what sarah walk talking about tonight at cru and it was really good and I was excited. then I tried to do some research for illustration and God was like nope not here. this isn't where your suppose to be. so I was like where? "time with me" so I left the computer and went and read some in James then Carly came up and we had this good conversation about God's Love. Then I had to go to cereamics. Went there and the kilns weren't off yet so we couldn't do anything so class was pretty much done with and if you wanted to stay and work you could. Daniel walked by and said I like your shirt, which it says "Christianity is not a religion, (on the front) Religion is humans trying to work their way to God. Christianity is God coming to men and women through a relationship with Jesus Christ (on the back)" and then Leleigh started talking to me again about God and religion and movies and stuff and we got to have a good conversation about that and she invited me to the film society thing tomorrow night and I said sure I might come by and see it, (no idea what it is, but just trying to build the relationship). and it was good. Then left there and went to the library and ended up playing football with Danni out in front of the library and then carly came out.

Then went inside to read and nothing was reallyl productive and God was saying this isn't where you should be. so I said where? after fighting it a while, I went over to the computers and checked facebook and my email in which case I started using some of the conversation with Carly in an email I replied to with Michelle. Then I emailed Devon my old roommate cause I hadn't talked to him. I tried to look up Matt bunner cause I haven't seen him and know I need to find him but no luck. So I went to his room in which case I couldn't find him but maybe woke up his roommate and his girlfriend or something, oops. Then headed over to the art building cause thats where I felt like I was suppose to go. I found pictures on the way I knew were part of a Design I project so I took them in and dried them off. In the next room I saw Norma who I hadn't got to talk to so we stopped and talked to each other for alittle bit and she shared her plans for the future and I shared that God hadn't told me yet and what he had told me that i knew of for my future. So I get a text from Kayla that she figured something out so I started to come back and met danni and she was having some issues so we stopped and talked then Dr. Griffee walked by and Danni went to ask her something and something she said fixed whatever danni was going through. we went inside and I got some work done, got to talk to danni some, michael some, kayla some, and lynsi some. Turns out matt was in lab until the cafe was closed so we're going to meet for lunch tomorrow. anyways fast forward cause I know i wont remember it all. i got to eat dinner with danni and we played cards and had fun. I got stuff for cru set up, and on the way back from getting music stands I saw Zack, (a guy who came to the halloween party dressed as a priest smoking a cigar, and I believe had plans to be a cross dresser the next night. Anyways i saw him on facebook and his religious views were either athiest or roman catholic, then on a post about God being in control he replied with "you dont know since there is no god anyways.") either way I saw this guy walking along and I see him everywehre and each time Gods like say hi but each time he kind of looks the other way and makes it awkward and like he's snubbing me so I dont say anything then realized to show Gods Love I have to take the effort even when it's not easy. So I passed him in the hall and was like Hey Zack. we talked for a few minutes then mentioned setting up for cru and he said he'll try to make it sometime. I said ok that's cool. then he left with a "God Bless" which just threw me for a loop. Turns out that night was tonight. Sarah did an awesome job sharing her story and challenging us to step out in faith and put faith in action. There were so many people crying and I could just see that this is exactly what God was wanting, complete honest brokenness and sharing our heart and all it's scars and how he's healed it. It was one of the most beautiful things. Afterwards Zack comes up to sarah and she said he said "what I said really spoke to him, and that he's dealing with a lot of stuff like that right now, and that it's just nice to know that he's not alone, and he's got hope, and he'll eventually get through it." WOW! DANG! WOW!

Then Sherri calls me after I get to have this amazing conversation with Gary about God and then something else. But sherri calls to tell me that Amber has changed her religous views on facebook from "Agnostic to "trust your instincts" and she had just asked sherri to pray for her saying something to the extent of "I'm not really relgious, but could you pray for me since you are." and wow like shabam wow! Then Gary and I are still talking more about God and how he spoke to him and he set him in the direction he needs to go and all of this is happening because I told Joel I'd watch the cru stuff while they go perform at the Concord Idol show so we wait up there til like 11. I had something I had been wanting to ask someone but didnt know who or how and he had been praying to God about something he wanted to say but didnt' know how and somehow our conversation drifted to that and it was just like wa-thump. later in the conversation gary says this whole thing is kind of new to me, I mean me praying and God answering real direct and just there right now. It was a good conversation in which I need to put alot more prayer but yeah. then we had a meeting about christmas conference before and we had about 18 people who were there and there were some who werne't there so possibly be shaving my head and all but like 3 were registered so yeah. :) wow. and kayla got to talk to elizabeth and just chat and kind of calm the waters there and it's jsut been really good. and i've realized a little more what it's like to fully follow God not just where you think it's good.

oh my gosh i know this probbly doenst make since and is choppy but I need to go to sleep and be prepared for waht God has in store tomorrow. Love you guys. Thank GOD!
