WOW!!! Today has been an amazing day!! Last week at church, i think I may have mentioned this in one of my previous blogs, God spoke to my heart, and He told me that something big was about to happen at Deerfield. I did not know what it meant, so i have been praying all week, and today, He revealed it to me. As I was on my way home for my lunch break, I was thinking about it and just listening to see if God had anything to say, and boy did He ever. All the thoughts and ideas of a revival at Deerfield were just pouring into me. I had no idea where to start, I mean there was just so much pouring into me. Suddenly, someone popped into my mind. I am not going to mention any names, but I hardly know this guy. He came to deerfield this year, and I talk to him but never in any depth or detail. Suddenly God just told me to talk to Him about starting this revival. So after school today I sent him a message and just told him what was going on. I have not heard anything back yet, but I am so excited.
God has called me to do this, and I am going to do it, even if I have to jump in all alone, I know God will provide me with the strength to face anything that may try to throw me off course. So here we go, I am ready and I cannot wait to see what is going to happen. If I can help one person, just one, I will be happy. Peace, Hope, and Love!!David
Tonight was awesome. The past week I have been really slipping up in my relationship with God. I have had so much on my plate, school, work, and my eagle scout project. The eagle project was a huge thing, but i am done with that. Anyway, what I am getting at is that I let me daily life activities get in the way of my relationship the Lord. I have made some not so smart decisions this week. I have moved on though.
Tonight at church, Pastor Eric was saying how God was telling him that there were students who have been letting their past interfere with their relationship with God. Let me tell you that hit the nail on the head for me. I have made some very bad decisions, and I dont want to say I do regret them because they have made me the person I am today, but they have been coming back to haunt me. That is definatly a problem, because I am limiting God to the past, and I limit Him to not being able to help me. This is such a problem for me, I know that God is capable of amazing things, I have just been letting my past mess with my head. I guess what I am trying to say, is dont do what i have been doing. I made a decision tonight to no longer live in the past, breath in, breath out, and move on. I can tell you from experience, the past is not going to change, but you can!!!! Don't let your decisions decide who you are going to be. You have to trust in God to come into yur life and rid you of those pains, and He will.
I hope this was somewhat helpful to someone, and of not, im sorry i could not speak wiser words.
Peace, Hope, and Love!!!David
Tonight was an eye opener for me. At church tonight we watched one of Rob Bell's lectures; Everything Spiritual. I have never been so blown away by a lecture before. He explained how everything is interrelated and how life could not thrive on earth without the preciseness of everything we need. The entire video lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes, and the whole time I was in tune and listening intently. Towards the end of the lecture he went on to explain how we cannot keep ignoring the present, because if we do we may very well miss something amazing.I personally have been waiting for God to reveal several things to me. I have been looking, and thinking too much, instead of listening to the present i was looking ahead and thinking about what He might say. I cant imagine how many things I missed from God.I know this blog is not that great, but I just want to encourage anyone who reads this to live for the here and now. I know this seems a lot like my last blog, and that is because it is. All I can really say is listen. Open your heart, your mind, and your soul, and listen to the beauty of God. He has so much to tell us and we miss a lot of it because we are always planning and looking for something, when it is in fact right here. God is not there, or there, or even there, He is in all those places and everywhere else. There is no need to look for God because He is right here all the time. You just have to be listening to what He has to say to you.Tonight I just pray that God helps me and anyone else that needs Him in their lives. I pray that those seeking Him will open up their souls and listen from the deepest parts of their hearts.I don't know if this was for anyone but me, I just can't help but feel if I don't share these things, that I may not be doing my part.Peace Hope and Love!!David
Church was amazing tonight. My heart and my eyes have finally been opened up to what God has been trying to tell me. For those of you that went to church tonight, What Baily said tonight really hit home for me. I have been trying so hard to rush through my last year of high school. If I was not trying to rush through to the future, I was stuck in the past, looking at where I used to be, and, like Pastor Eric said, "...Limiting God to what He has already done." Tonight I decided that I am going to enjoy every second of the rest of my life, I no longer worry about tomorrow, or dwell on past decisions. God spoke to me tonight, and He told me something big is about to go own at Deerfield. I feel that He might use me to start it off, He may not, but He told me something huge is going to happen. It is no secret everyone knows thee is a lot of sin that goes on in that school, a lot of it on campus. God is about to do something amazing, and I am so stoked that I am going to be able to help, and witness it. This is it ladies and gentlemen, Forget what you think you know and listen to God, for He is going to speak the wisest and strongest words to you that you have ever heard in your entire life. Strap in and Hang on it is gonna be an amazing journey! Peace Hope and Love!! David
Well guys this is it, the next 18 weeks are going to be the last 18 weeks of high school that I am forced to endure. I have decided that they are going to be a good 18 weeks though. I think the main reason I have been so miserable in high school is because I have always had a negative outlook on school, but this last semester, I am going to make some good memories. I plan on laughing until I cry, smiling in all my pictures, and making friends with the people I have never been close to. I got some stuff in the mail today, graduation stuff, and it dawned on me that this is the last time I am going back to high school after a Christmas break. It is such a weird feeling. But I am going to get through this, I am going to barge in those doors tomorrow, knowing I have God on my side, and knowing I am capable of doing anything that I want to do. So here it is, I have wiped my slate clean, and I am forgetting the horrors of 2007. I do not know what tomorrow will bring, but I do know that God has a plan and If that plan calls for me to endure some hardships, Then by golly I'm gonna do it!!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I have come too far to turn back now.Anyway folks, Have an amazing night.Peace Hope and Love!!David
So tonight has been a night of many different emotions for me. I went to a worship night with my church, but it wasn't just Providence that went, there were people from all different denominations and churches, and yet we all came together for one reason, and that reason was to worship God. It was such an awesome thing to see everyone just singing and dancing, and of course seeing Justin dressed as Jesus was pretty amazing ;-).....But in all seriousness, 2007 was definitely the hardest year of my life thus far. Tonight thinking back on all the things I had done and been through, was very weird for me. 2008 is going to be my year. I have a lot of personal issues I have to work on and I also have to work on my relationship with Him. God is such an amazing God, and I am so excited that I have been given the chance to know Him.As far as I am concerned, my past is my past, and the future is, well, just that, it is the future. The one thing I am going to work on this year is living in the present moment, I have to stop letting my past decide who I am going to become. I have done that for too long and it has gotten me no where.So here is to 2008, the year of greatness. I am looking forward to seeing what God will bring into, take out of, and leave just as it is, in my life. I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!!Peace Hope and Love!!!David
