My Father who is heaven I just want to thank you for using me and answering my prayers last night. After LG I dropped by 1020 Clark Cr. to see what all the sweet action was all about. Cool to see part of the fellowship there. When I say part, you think of a reason why I would say that and if you would like to know, talk to me. Well, it was pretty chill, I got to serve oranges to some people, woohoo, woot woot. However, there was a greater calling to that very night. My buddy Alex To and had this plan to let people know who this JC we know was and is. That means just as JC did, go to the tax collectors and prostitutes, which is exactly what He did. So thats just what we did. We got The Tangster to join us too, which was awesome. The devil was trying to prevent us from going telling us, stay here and just have fun and “hang out with all the people WHO ARE ALREADY CHRISTIANS” It was hard to leave because we were having fun, which is exactly what the devil wanted us to do which was brought to Alex’s attention. The devil knew our plot to EV to people who don’t know JC. So we were like, dude we just gotta go, before you know it our chance will be gone so we were like, just go go go. So we left our comfortablity to go to a party where people dont drink Martinellis, they be drinking your sky vodka, downing 40′s and just going crazy.
Well, when the three of us arrived we were welcomed by the dude who lived there. So we came in kicked back with some people and tried to work our way in to where the Holy Spirit was leading us. We had a mission and that mission was not going to be easy. There were so many people filling there lives with things and substances to just satisfy them for a brief moment in life which would soon come to pass to be nothing. Pure emptiness, in our hearts we knew that there were some people dying for someting more from life, something that gave them meaning and purpose. You know they just want to believe in JC but are in total deniial of Him. You know they wanted something that didn’t leave them feeling empty at the end of the night or when they woke up in the morning. The Lord was really challenging us to really trust in Him. Just as Shawn spoke at LG of how we always try to think of what we should say and not say when we are trying to share JC with other people. Don’t think…listen! I tell you that is all it takes sometimes.
As the night progressively got later we had been there for about two hours hanging and talking to random people we have never met or people we may have seen around campus and what not. As it was getting late, I was getting bored and restless due to no door opening up to share the gospel with someone or some people. So I sat there on a couch and began to pray. A few minutes later after I prayed that God would give me an opportunity to shine some light into the darkness, a young lady sat near me on the couch. So, as I was just about to introduce myself, my housemate Alex introduced me to Melanie because he met her previously that night. There was something about this conversation and where it was going. At the beginning, I was just like o, just someone to talk to. The light bulb didn’t come on from God till later on…guess Im slow like that, but any how….I started talking to her and I asked all the you know questions about like where you from, what year you are and what not, u get the picture. As the convesation progressed, she asked me if I drank, and I was like “no I do not drink at all” and so I decided to throw the question back at her, and so she responded with welll….not that much, occassionally. I could just tell from her response that she wasn’t really into the whole drinking scene. This was even before I got the chance to talk to her about anything or why I was there. To make a long story short, I asked her where she lived and she said Seqouia and I was O hey, I have a friend who lives there, Justin (aka Juke Box) and she was like Justin who is in that Christian frat? I was like ya, AGO and I was like woah this is cool. Thank you Lord! She asked me how I know Justin and I said he was a good friend of mine and we go to Inter Varsity together and she was like you go to IV, I have heard of that. I was like ya, and she was like I have some friends I know that go to IV. I was like hey thats cool. So I gave a little bit about what IV was about and what not. I also got to talkign with her about what major she was and what she wanted to do after she graduated because she is a 4th year. She asked me the same question except in a more straight foward kind of manner which I thought was strange. I was like hmmmm, she asked me what do you really want to do when you graduate. I was like to be honest I would want to go where God leads me if it maybe to another country on earth then I want to go and she was like wow, and why. I was like, dude, this is awesome, haha. I was because I want to share what I believe in to people who do not know and who have never heard who JESUS CHRIST IS. She seems curious. Finally, I cut to the chase, do you know why I am here I asked her? I just wanted to be real, even thought it sounds scary, I wanted to be legit. I was like I am here to share the Gospel of JC to people here. She was like, this is not the place to be and I was like, well this is the place to be. I want to share something I have and believe in with people who don’t know or understand who He is. Well, there are some parts I left out but the situation and experience was real. The Lord provides a door when you call upon Him again and again. I was just amazed because I was about to bounce up out of there right before I met Melody. Sweet action is all I have to say. Thank you God, I hope to follow up on this at sequoia to talk to her since she was like drop on by to say hello sometimes, I was like, fosho.
