Hey All!
Ok so I’m really tired but I had an awesome day; God definitely deserves some praise!
A phone call from Allie woke me up this morning. She wanted me to ride with her to church. So we had a good time on the way down to Gulf Breeze, and an even better time at church. Pastor John continued talking about how Jesus’ ministry took a sharp turn in Luke 9; he put more power in the hands of the disciples and began to let them minister to people. We also talked about the transfiguration of Jesus and how it had a significant impact on each disciple that witnessed it. He also discussed faith and how each disciple that witnessed Jesus’ transfiguration had to stand up for their faith- even when taunted by death. It was a truly moving service for me; we had communion and while waiting for everyone to be seated I just looked around at all of God’s creation: the grass, trees and plants outside the windows, the breeze moving them, and all of the volunteers in the church, dedicated to serving Christ. It then hit me that it’s time for me to step up and be the man that God has called me to be. I’m tired of being an immature, lackadaisical Christian. I am determined to grow in my walk with the Lord, and yes I will make some sacrifices. I will hold my tongue, live honorably, and be a better friend. But I will not hang out with people that bring me or my Jesus down. I’ve had enough of that. It’s time for me to grow up.
After church Allie, Logan and I went out to the beach and chilled- I mean roasted- for a few hours. The water had cooled off a bit, and I had a great time.
This is where the fun begins: So we are on our way home from the beach and Allie says she has a surprise for me. I give her a hard time about it, telling her that if it’s homemade she can keep it haha. Well we get to Allie’s house and I got a shower, and then she’s like, “Okay we have to go get your surprise now!” So they proceed to blindfold me (kudos to David; I couldn’t see a thing) and off we go, kidnapped in the backseat of Allie’s car. After a few minutes of driving around we stop. They lead me out of the car and open a door. When I took off my blindfold I realized it was a surprise birthday party! It was so much fun and tons of food. We played corn hole and “Things” and before I knew it, we’d been partying for six hours haha. So some folks headed out, but the rest of us went over to Allie’s and watched Diary of a Mad Black Woman. I love that movie. After it was over I got really tired, and now I’m here typing, running on fumes haha. I gotta get some rest. Thanks for a great time tonight everybody! It was nice to have a decent get together one last time before everyone goes away to college and leave me all alone with Allie :\ (Just playing, but really…)
Goodnight!
