That's Love
02.11.05 (3:22 pm)   [edit]
What I am about to post is the most undescribable feeling that one could ever try to portray through words.

[This week is declared "Love Week" because, I have been confronted with I Corinthians 13 all week. On Tuesday, me and Jury had a good talk about it during one of our conferences. At Wednesday's Noon-day Ministry, Lisa did a message called, "Love v. Lust". Yesterday, when I came home from Girls Ministry, I went to Biblegateway, and it's scripture of the day was I Corinthians 13:1-3. I woke up this morning to Joyce Meyer, and she was also talking about it! I know that I should love, regardless if people love me. So today was definitely an eye opener. Read below.]

Well, I would have never imagined what was in store for chapel. No, they didn't talk about the "Love Chapter", but they talked about "Letting Go." When I say letting go, I mean [u]LETTING GO [/u]of all the things that can hinder us in our Christian walk, and in our lives. [i]LETTING GO[/i]... [b][i][u]L-E-T-T-I-N-G G-O[/u][/i][/b]! So, Bleed and Bricks did the sermon together, and in the very the very beginning we had received a strong rebuke from Bricks, because some people found praise and worship funny, like it was a joke. Bleed then went into the sermon, and it was alright... I mean, I wouldn't say that it was anything spectacular, but it was good.

Then, he ends the sermon, and he says, "Wait, I have another thing to add." He did an alter call, then he played a Donnie McClurkin song, and all of a sudden the spirit started moving. First, it was just a simple meditation on the words, then Air (yes, my dear beloved Air) started quietly speaking in tongues. Then as the seconds progressed, it got louder and louder, and deeper and deeper. Then VV joined in, and they were both in a distinct harmony. I started to tear up, then I was crying, and eventually it turned into wailing. I then started jerking from my stomach, and breathing heavily.

Then Painge, seeing that I was crying (mind you, this is about 30 minutes after the heavy anointing of the Spirit), gave me a couple of tissues and hugged me. The thing about it was, when I started to hug her, I was really crying, jerking, and breathing heavily. Then something said, "Say this to her." and I said, in a very distinctive cry voice (which was a little louder than I usually speak), and continuous jerking, "Painge, God loves you more than you know. Don't ever let it go, no matter what anyone says. Hold on to it." and we hugged for a long while.

It was the heaviest I have ever been under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and it wasn't just me. A lot of people in the service were crying, and my beloved teachers were speaking in tongues. It was beautiful. I just remember saying, "God, please don't let me worry about people." and to myself, "Don't stifle the Holy Spirit." (1 Thes 5:19)(NLT)

I couldn't help but thinking about what Air had said to me last night, about being an example to the girls at college. I was praying and I kept saying, "Lord, let me be a good example! Let me lead people to you and not have them turn away from you, Lord!" or I would say, "I was called to be an example. I AM NOTHING, LORD!" or, "Thank you for my life, Lord!" It was a definite reminder that we, as humans, are dirt. [u]WE ARE NOTHING[/u]. Without God, there is no existance! There are times when we push that fact to the back burner.

So, I had a good day. I think that I have reached a new step in my walk. I couldn't see myself doing that before, and actually, I can't believe that it happend to me today. Yes, I am a Christian, and yes, I love the Lord and have been reading my bible daily. I just know that what happend today was Him. There is no other explaination.

So, we calmed down about 2 hours later, and a few people did some testimonies. First, was my little 9th grade friend, Sanction. She went up to the alter, and said that she was glad that she had breath in her body because of all the things that she had been through, and that she had a dream that she was caught up in the clouds. Then Frenzy went up and spoke (Air was praying over him and he was on his knees holding on to her legs.) and he said that he was about to have someone on the b-ball team hurt (or killed) because of something that happend on a recent trip. He then publically apologized to that person and went and hugged him. Next was Haynes and his wife. Then Shaones, and HT. It was beautiful.

I can honestly say that we were all exhausted after what had happend. I was standing up in art class and my stomach, and back her in pain. As I type this to you, I am so tired from crying this morning, that if I go lay down, I would fall asleep. If you haven't, have an encounter with God. Play some worship music and ask him to surround you with his presence. You won't regret it. That's Love...

I haven't been to school in three days. I did get to see; Jan, Air (with Junior and Patrigals), and 41833 (with Brawny Man, and the offspring) today at church. I didn't say anything to any of them though, and I'm kinda glad it was that way. Great day (and weekend) all around. It's felt like spring here and there hasn't been a cloud in the sky (THANK GOD!). I'm ready for school tomarrow, and I am floating on cloud nine. The only thing about that is that I have the option of leaving at 1, but I wanna talk to Air after lunch. BUT being able to have a mid-day nap is so much more important sometimes. Then again, I haven't been at school in a couple of days, so I need to make up some quizzes... but I'm really gonna miss that nap.

I made dinner today. Of course, the usual Sunday dinner. I wasn't planning on it, but then again, if you wanna eat around here then you gotta do it yourself. After dinner I went out on the porch for a hot second, to get some air and drink some ice water. I finally got to see this Pauly Shore movie called, "Son in Law." I guess you can say it was a silent desperation to watch a comedy that I didn't know all the lines to. I wouldn't say it was that funny, but it was a good movie- and I don't even care for Pauly Shore.

As previously stated, everything has been pretty normal. Good weekend, quiet week, good uplifting music, a nice comedic movie, and unlimited naps... Ahh... nothing like a time like this.

Song of the day: Hanson- Get Up and Go
Commercial of the day: It's either Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper or Diet Cherry Pepsi, when the guy is singing like a muppet as his date is drinking the soda (if you know what the commercial is, drop a line)

TBB's Day Off
02.02.05 (5:19 pm)   [edit]

I woke up this morning, and thought to myself, "Ya know, I don't necessarily have to get out of the bed at 7:00.  I can stay in 'til 7:30.  I just have to..." and then I realized that I had to get up this morning.  So, I'm in the shower saying, "God, I really wanna stay home today." and in those 10 minutes, I had planned out everything that I would do if I stayed home: science project, final vocation paper, wash clothes, cook, print flyers for play, make a grocery list...etc.  So, I call my mom over and over and OVER.  There is no answer.  The thing about it was that it would only ring once and her answering machine would come on.  It starts off my saying, "Hello, your call is being answered by, 'Audix'."  I kept getting SO upset.  Then finally she answered, and said that I could stay home.  I was happy, even though I'd miss my daily HC, and art class. 


So, I started all of my plans as soon as possible.  The first thing I did was make the grocery list.  Then I did the flyers, and started washing.  Then I did the dishes, continued to wash clothes, finish my vocation paper, remove my nail polish, and so on.  I had about 15 things on my checklist, and I completed all of them.  I feel great.  I mean, I didn't have a nap, but still, I feel like I finally accomplished something.  I hate being bored.  Since we are on a half-day schedule, I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do after lunch.  It was so much more fun hanging out with Air when it was illegal...

The Quiet After the Weekend Storm
02.01.05 (7:30 pm)   [edit]

Not to sound even remotely boastful in any shape, form, or fashion, but THANK GOD!  I went to get the mail today, and there was another letter from my first choice college [that I accepted to].  I wait until I get in the house to wash my hands, and my mom starts opening the letter.  I grab it from her, and I swear to you that I only read the first two lines, and then I said, "OH MY GOD!  I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"  Then my mom says, "What?!" and I give it to her.  I received a merit scholarship of $8,000 (which is annually!)  I have to keep my gpa at or above a 3.0!  Ok, so, if you calculate that, it is $32,000, and there may be more.   I filled out my FAFSA, and sent it in the very beginning of January.  Hopefully, some more money will come through. 


I'm just so happy, because last night they called me (but my sister doesn't click over) and they left a message on the answering machine.  The lady's voice on the other end was so welcoming and calming.  I listened to that message at least 10 times.  So, to get the letter today was such a blessing.  This just goes to show that, despite those OVER-RATED SAT SCORES, you can still get into a good college and get a scholarhip.  Anything is possible with God, esspecially, if you wanna know which college to choose.  Circumstances will happen in your life that will make you say, "I AM GOING HERE!"  Just ask Him...
