Opinion: Christian Enthusiasm
God is awesome! Some people think that worshiping God is a duty and that we should be solemn about it and be serious. Well, I agree with that to a point. While we should not take our walk lightly, there's also a joy to it. We have a wonderful relationship with our Abba Father and there is nothing wrong with being expressive about it. Be enthusiastic about serving God!
I just got back yesterday from spending the weekend at a condo about 3 hours from here. My uncle and aunt came over from MA to spend a week at their timeshare. They invited my family to come and visit and get to see my 11 month cousin! It was a blast. Jason R., a friend of mine here, heard I was heading to that area and hitched a ride along with me. He stayed with a friend and had a good time. We had a really good discussion during the ride to and from.
We had a blast getting to know Declan. He wasn't sure about us at first, but warmed up by Sunday morning. I couldn't believe some of the faces I got from him! *laughs* I did get some pictures, so I'll try and develop them soon.
I've been a bit lax lately on my school work. My first essay this term was the lowest grade I have received in writing -- 68. *grimaces* Ah, well, that's what I get for doing it very last minute. Hopefully this evening I'll be able to come up with some sort of thesis. I desperately want to spend more time on this next paper.
Last night I was in the computer lab just hanging (and reading Steve Woziack's comments on Pirates of Silicon Valley when I get a call on my cell. Jason and some others were doing a worship time up at the cross and I decided to go up there. Wow! that was soooo awesome. I got touched and we had a good time worshiping for an hour and a half. Very cool.
I'm just sensing that God is going to enriche my prayer life this term. Times to pray for people have just seemed to fall into my lap. I've seemingly started to use my old gift of counseling or whatever you want to call it. Seems like God is giving me more opportunities to talk with people and pray for them. It's kinda like what happened with the Wilbur Gang and the things God did with me. I'm excited to see this reawakening and my faith beginning to grow again. It's such an awesome feeling to know that I'm walking in His path again and He's living in me and enabling me to actively minister God to people. What a feeling!
