what is old is new again... so i am hungry for a new and fresh fire/passion/love of God. This week has made me hungry. From conversations with different people to listening to a recording of a friends friend... i have just been put face to face with wanting to glow and be passionate again... really glow... and really understand God as my lover. i say that this is an old new passion... i was talking with one of my girlfriends about the fact that i don't believe the glow that new christians have is only for the beginning time... we are to be passionate, hungry people always. I don't want to live the nomial life. i don't want to live the 'settled' life. i want more.
anyways i have lots of different thoughts rolling though my mind. One of them being a trip to Turkey... don't know why Turkey is on my heart but it is...
another thing rolling in my mind is the possibility of meeting people here in Macon to challenge me in having a life filled with fire. i was sitting in my living room imagining what it would be like to be surrounded by people who had big thoughts of God and were excited about what was going on... and i started praying in my living room for God to provide a houston like experience, life here in Macon. I got excited about how cool would it be if we were on track and started a house church here and my neighbors (neat family that lives next door) could join us. I got excited about people to pray and worship God with... we could do some damage here on campus and around us. i want that so bad. i am so hungry for it. i am hungry to chase God with someone. i am hungry to grow with people. i am hungry to do life with people.
so i am praying that God answers my prayer with a yes... and this happens. i see so much potential... and want so much.
so along with turkey thoughts (the country) came thoughts of what do i need to prepare my self and my heart to go. who would i go with? what would be my purpose... so i am praying through that. and if you are reading this blog please join me in praying through that.
this evening we had a b-day party for one of the guys from our section... well i went to a party that his wonderful girlfriend was throwing. It was good being back and seeing everyone. i have missed them and i have actually missed school... i didn't miss school before but i do now.
there is a different feel to the group. People are more settled and know their place. There is not an unknown hanging over our heads. And people are generally more at ease. there is less pretension going on right now... The party was interesting just from the view point of seeing how we have all changed. and also how much we have not changed. Clif made the comment that it was like we had never left. Getting into the rhythm of our life here has not been hard. Again i hope for much this year with my campus. There is a core of us that are meeting right now... and there is another group of people that i hope can be incorporated into our meeting times. I think we need an interjection of someone excited about God. And Rahaam, i think, could provide that injection. but we shall see.
anyways those are just some random thoughts from the peanut gallery.
