I woke up this morning wanting to show love, and after being truly refreshed by the spirit of God, I was really hungry to be in Gods presence and to be used. I stayed up late last night with a friend preparing our senior project. Everything leading up to my senior project was very slow, however I trusted in God that he would be with both of us and that he would speak through us.
We had a good presentation, and we got a lot of positive feedback from it. All glory go to God for being with us through it all. After this there were know more projects today so we basically had free time. I noticed one of my friends just laying on the couch looking distraught and so I walked over wandering what was up. He told me how he hurt his hand the day before and how he was really tired.
I asked him if it would be ok to pray for him and he told me that it would, and so I prayed for him. I was thankful for God being with me and truly that he would heal him and return joy and peace to his heart. This jolted the rest of my day and I was just astonished at how God had been moving in my life in just the previous days.
After School I headed to church early for bible study like always. I arrived and met Joanne Jundo at the door with the warming smile that she always had. I told her about what had happened in the past days and how God has really been active in my life. However I could instantly tell she wasn't her normal self. So I asked her how she was doing, and how her week was. She shared how she was just tired, and how the flow of things had switched around for her.
After it got quiet as she worked and I played guitar and I just began to think, and God instilled in me the want to pray for her. At first I was going to wait for everyone else to arrive but then I realized I would rather just do it right there on the spot. I asked her if it would be ok if I prayed for her and she said yea. So we prayed and then after I went back over to the couch.
As I was sitting down eating chips a peace of chip fell to the ground and I looked down. It was then I noticed how dirty the floors were and began to notice dust, and stuff under the desk and chairs and such. So I picked up a broom and just began to sweep and clean up the floors. After that I emptied the trash in her room because it was full and then replaced it with a empty bag.
It gave me joy to just do something in hopes of raising JJ's spirits and something that can benefit everything. That along with praying for my friend although very different gave me great joy and really puts a smile on my face to be used by God in which ever way possible. I don't know if any of you have heard the song Give me your eyes by Brandon heath, but it truly speaks to me, and expresses what Love is and How God is the center of it.
