Dear Jesus...
Our heavenly, Holy, Wonderful, Incredible, Amazing, Awesome, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thank you, Jesus.
I need to find my highlighter.
Haha. It sounds funny writing a letter to you. But, I wish I did it more often. This is my prayer. And I most definitely wish I did this more often. Church was off the chains Sunday morning. I am so happy that you have given me the insight to know that church is FOR me. It is my medicine. I am sick and there ain't nothing like a good dose of "preachin" to cleanse my soul. It was at church where I first heard to read the Bible. And then Inheard it many many times!!! And it wasn't until the one millionth time that I finally decided to do it for real. Oh, I have read the Bible before (parts, at least) but I am talking about really, really reading it. I am talking about getting into the WORD and allowing the WORD to get into me!!! Oh what a feeling. I thank you for being patient with me. Cause reading the Bible now has changed my life. In fact, I am in the process of reading the Bible right now. I am on Numbers Chapter 16 Verse 1. I just wanted to stop by and tell you that before I read any further. I will be jumping back and forth between my Bible and my journal today when the spirit hits me. And a lot of times it does. It hits me hard. Ouch! That is gonna leave a mark. Every time you see a line that means time has passed...just to let you know...
I need to find my highlighter. I started reading the Bible and highlighting the parts that moved or touched me at any given particular time. And now, that I found my Bible again, I have lost my highlighter. Lord, where is my highlighter? Please highlight my highlighter, so that I can find it amongst all of the junk that is in my house.
Okay, you guys are gonna think I am crazy. I remember the first time, I was looking for a highlighter. Not mine...cause I didn't have one yet to call my own. I prayed to the lord for me to get one or find one laying around the house or something...and lo and behold, I was led to get up and find one. BAM. Right there on the living room table was a highlighter. I had never seen the large container that was carrying pens and such before...or if I had, I had never seen a highlighter inside of it before...and sure enough there one was. I believe I wrote about it in my journal. And now...just now...just a second ago, I read a passage and it had some points that I wanted to highlight and I wrote the paragraph above asking the Lord to please allow me to find my highlighter...and wouldn't you know it? As soon as I finished typing that, I looked a little more harder on my desk and there right behind my iphone box was my highlighter. So small...but so big. God is good. I rejoice and am glad in all the small things that HE does for me..cause I know big things will come. Halleluyah.
Back to my Bible reading...and back to highlighting...
Woa. God is a jealous God. How many times did HE bless Israel and provide miracle after miracle and they still turned away from Him? I catch myself when I laugh at their ignorance...but...I do the same thing. I feel like Israel. How many times has the Lord blessed me and then a week later (or less) I turn around and start complaining about this and that? When am I gonna let go of everything and release it all to GOD. He has my back. For real. He has proven it time and time again. Yet, as I write this as I just finish reading how Israel turns on GOD again, I will no doubt (probably in THIS journal) be complaining about something meaningless within the week. It is crazy. I hate the human in me. I love the GOD in me, but hate the flesh.
Well, I thank you for the reading and the hearing of your word, Lord. halleluyah. I pray to take what I read today and use it in everyday life. I pray to take what I learned in church and serve. I pray that I walked out of that church house prepared to work. I pray that I am prepared to serve others. I pray that I am ready to be a non-complaining man of GOD. Some complaints are good. But, my complaints...hahaha...mine are about as worthless as they come. That is why I thank you, Lord.
I need a new paragraph to tell you why I thank you. And this paragraph by far will not be enough. I could write a million thank yous in a million journals and explain a million different ways...and it still would not be enough. Halleluyah. I thank you for waking me up this morning. I thank you for your guidance and your paitience with me. I thank you for your teachings. I thank you for your blessings. I thank you for Japan, Long island and Temple University. I thank you, Lord for hope. Man, where would I be without that. You give me the opportunity to hope for all things. I thank you for trials. I thank you for suffering. I thank you for happiness. I thank you for joy. I thank you for breath. Oh, glory to GOD. I thank you!!!
Whew. I wanted to talk about church and what was said, but it is late...or should I say it is early. And although, I don't have much to do on Monday (due to the fricken strike, which by the way, Lord, I pray to be over soon) I still should take my self to bed. So, Lord, I thank you for allowing me to come to you on this occasion and I pray that I keep coming to you forever more. Halleluayah. Please bless all my family members and friends and enemies and anyone else that has a heart that beats. Thank you for loving me.
Bless me indeed and enlarge my territory. Keep your hands on me and keep me from my enemies so that I may cause no pain. The kingdom is yours, in your wonderful amazing name...Jesus name...
Amen.
