Amazing Grace... It really is a sweet sound.

Tonight I went to go work out with Liz. When we had finished, I was headed back to Honors, and I heard You speak to me. You said to put my hands up high in the night sky and worship you…don’t take them down. Keep worshiping, You said. I did. I felt that someone was supposed to see me worshiping. I got a call on my cell from Liz…she said wait up I’m right behind you, so I did. When she got there she said, “I saw your arms up in the air.” She assumed I was protecting my head from any flying soccer balls (earlier a soaring soccer ball came crashing down just to the left of my head and Liz jumped out of the way… it was a close call). I told her no, that I was worshipping and singing to Jesus. I explained that I love doing that on my long walks around campus. It’s so amazing that earlier that day I felt like this day was turning into sort of a waste, but I praised and worshipped You despite my feelings. You prepared me all day long for the words that I spoke to Liz tonight. The Holy Spirit intervened and spoke through me to reach out to her. She was aching to hear what I had to say about my life…how You had completely transformed it…and how You could change hers too, if she let You. When we reached the doors to Honors, I concluded my Holy speech by saying, “Is there anything I can pray for you about or anything.” Her face lit up even more, as she responded, “I need you to teach me how to pray.” I got to pray with Liz and how You orchestrated the whole moment captivated me with Your unfailing love and grace all over again. Tracy walked in as we were about to start praying and we got to include her in the awesomeness! God, You are so awesome…that was perfect. I got to pray with both Tracy and Liz. We also talked about tithing, relationships with our families, divorce and how You come to our rescue and will fill our lives with your grace and glory if we will allow You in. Experiencing how the Holy Spirit uses me and frees me from pride and fear(of what people may think) became increasingly apparent as I saw You touching the hearts of Your beloved children. I am most comfortable, excited and content when I am sharing my testimony with someone, ministering to them or simply talking about how awesome You are. Jesus Christ, You make me who I am, who I want to be and I love you with all of my heart.
