This past weekend was nothing short of awesome insanity inspired by God. It all started with Friday, nothing really crazy happened besides some people coming over to watch tremors. A few of them hadn't seen the movie before so it was a laugh fest watching them jump at random times. Saturday was when the weekend truly began. I asked God for some time to myself to be spent in the bible and other things. He delivered big time and sent out my roommates for a good 4 hours. In this span of time I read 6 chapters of Job and finally was caught up in the readings at chapter 31. I set a goal to run for 1.2 miles... and God was like: " Oh you aren't stopping yet" and pushed me for the full 2 miles instead. Way over expected. Then I had no real plans planned for Sunday since my friends I normally go to church with were out of town. I ended up catching Seacoast Live at 9:30 service. I REALLY needed to hear it.
It was one of the best messages I have heard yet. It was about being empowered by the Holy Spirit and how you can really tell if it happens. Well folks, it truly has happened for me! I won't go over the reasons why, but catch the video when its online if you haven't seen the message. That was not over, the entire day was filled with God. I ended up watching a video cast from Hillsong Church in Australia. Then I found out that Elevation Church was just starting to have a live showing of church every Sunday at 7. It was a huge thing, great music, great message, great day of God. Now this was again not over. I looked back at the old messages on the Seacoast website, and found one that piqued my interests "Is the Bible Reliable?". And here's when the insanity started...
A friend of mine messaged me out of the blue. I hadn't spoken to her in literally months. The last time she talked to me... she was, well, drunk. I was interested in her for purely the wrong reasons last year. Last year she was really caught up with some other relationship she was trying to renew, which inevitably threw me off and I stopped trying to pursue it. She asked how my summer went. I said " It was full of awesome insanity inspired by God".
She replied "Oh then I suppose we can't have sex" and of course since this is an IM client she had a sad face pasted after it.
So we continued to talk. I was over joyed to learn that she and I quote "You have changed". It's so great that people I used to hang out with have noticed this. It is something I take a lot of joy in now. Something about being changed by God is something to be happy about.
It just brings me some great happiness and joy to be in a Walk with God. It molds people into things they never thought would be possible. I am glad to have known all of you and for completely changing my whole outlook on life. I am truly a better man now than I was before.
God bless

It is really cool to read your writing because I see the reality of God developing a relationship with You, Ricky, His son! You are developing what I call an AWE-GOD relationship, you are developing your AWE of God and in that will come a confidence in God that you could only hope for or dream for. Too Cool! Keep it up!
