Running The Race

Back when I was really young I tended to go on all sorts of adventures, I remember as a kid I was always outside doing something, the only time I was when the weather was to extreme to go outside, at that point I would get my fix of Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. I road a bike, walked, ran, water gun wars, I often just would go to the playground and just think about things. I had really good friends growing up, we shared some great times.

One thing I would do is reflect on the past, I was always thinking about past memories, especially spending a year in Grayville Illinois, I had so many good memories there and I actually ran around town at age 9. I experienced my first crush, first all night camp out, first best friend, first chance at real freedom. I often look back on those times especially after moving to Evansville and wanting to go back and relive them.

Emotions are a gift from God; I love what God has blessed me with, the ability to Love. He works in ways I will NEVER understand. I am really started to grow as a Christian I feel, I have made a ton of mistakes but who doesn’t honestly? God led me to a small group for my spiritual help last Tuesday. It really is crazy how it happened.. I was going to the truth project over at cfc, it was advertised in the bulletin so I figured I check it out. Thing about it was the truth project wasn’t meeting at cfc.. I didn’t know this..

So I get to CFC and I go to the Gym and see David in the café. I catch up with him for a few and ask him if he by chance new where the truth project was meeting. He didn’t know but he did see some guys coming in.. well I looked all over the place so eventually I went upstairs and ran into a men’s small group, the age range was all over the place and I saw Fred there so I said hey, and asked if this is where the truth project was being held.

One man said no, but we did the truth project in this group and it was great..

I left and went outside and called the guy in charge.. he didn’t answer but I left a message .. then I sat down in a chair by the elevator and I prayed.. I thought about the circumstances here.. and then I said Lord if this is what you want for me okay ill go in.

So I went back to the group, they invited me to hang out and kick it with them. Turns out that they were starting a fresh course and were taking a vote on what to study.. also they don’t usually meet at CFC but they did this particular week. One of the guys said if I stayed in the group he would give me the truth project, plus I would get to join in on there study. At that point everything added up.. I was suppose to be here.. We voted and the vote turned to a study on James.. haha God called me out big time and I responded..

I’m happy about that.. really I am everyone is really cool and I am looking forward to really getting into this.. that isn’t it though God spoke to me though David as he usually did tonight..

Don’t do things that will allow others to stumble in there walk.. Something I have picked up from the message.. also The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love that’s Galatians 5:6

I hung out with Aaron and Kaliegh and Brittany and then Bill came by for a bit as well at Kaliegh’s house. I saw Kathy and caught up with her as well. It was one of the best evenings I have had in a long time. I felt like I was reliving some ol times, I missed those times and it makes me smile that we could all get together and kick it, relax and just have a good time. KJ went to Canada and has done all sorts of stuff since the last time I talked to her. She seems like she is really happy, which is great. I am so happy for her, and Aaron and his wife Brittany. They all make me smile J

It was a good night, I about passed out on the couch.. and ended up going into work at 4 A.M and working till 8 A.M.

I have been faced with a few decisions, they aren’t easy ones to choose, one of them would probably send me on an adventure that would be one of those never forgetting experiences.. the other one well it’s a mystery because I never know what is going to happen..
