Whenever I feel like I'm losing touch, God does astronomical, divine, surreal things in this tired, earth-bound soul of mine. I don't have to pilfer through other people's conversations, pictures, jokes to find fake things to reminisce about.
I've found the soundtrack to my summer. Oh my, it's amazing.
Dive by Tycho, it's amazing. A-MAZ-ING.
There are some things coming down the pike that I'm excited about.
In the now - I am glad to have amazing brothers and sisters.
I'm very enthused with the slew of crew that has assembled to share the GOSPEL.
*Outreach at church has been stifled down to "passing out cards". So people don't really know how to street evangelize anymore. It's safe to pass out a flyer and be done with it. The Gospel isn't safe. Jesus isn't safe, but he's good. (As Lewis spoke of Aslan)
I was privileged with sharing the Gospel with four kids tonight. I sat there on the street corner engaging with their post-high school, distracted minds. Their eyes wide at the sound of depravity and hell. I could see their hearts sink. I could see Tony and Zalina's eyes widen and glisten at the sound of hope, grace and forgiveness at the repentance and confession of their sins. To hear that Jesus loves them and wants to change their lives forever, I think that stuck. I hope it does. They have Rock Church cards, and the address, and I hope to see them tomorrow night.
It was also good to hang out with a new brother who's in my small group. He's come a long way, and God is leading him strong. Wilderness and broken relationships, God has delivered him from a lot, and I'm so grateful that he is gunning to get in with us. He doesn't want to waste his life, and I can see that. It's tremendously encouraging.
We concluded with drinks and rocknroll at Twilite - which is my new favorite bar. Seriously, it's so rad.
God is good, and gives good gifts. Even though I don't have a girl, house, bank account, or other things I think I need, I am so satisfied in the treasures that Yahweh has bestowed on my life. I'm not going to waste my singleness anymore - even if I hate summertime.
