i just got back from camp yesterday. it was amazing....so incredible drawing near to God. Thumbs up to Life Support, an awesome christian band that played all week. although i had an awesome week, the first two days i did something stupid. I tried not to make friends. because i was sick of saying goodbyes. This is something NOT to do.
Finally God got sick of me doing this and when i was done praying at the alter with about a hundred other teens, i sat back down, and i'll let you in my head for a minute.
God: hey sarah
sarah: hey God!
God: see that guy over there?
sarah: *looks over and sees cute guy crying, head in hands.* yeah i see him awww, he looks like his heart's broken. i feel so bad for him wonder what's wrong?
God: Mhm. Now, get up, go over there and lay hands on him and pray for him.
sarah: what?!!!!
God: get your butt over there, girl!
sarah: no, he's just gonna think i want to like....you know and then...
God: what, you might make a friend?
sarah: yeah...besides how do i know this is You talking anyhow?!! If you realllly want me to go pray for him,...give me some kind of sign. hm, like he has to get up and go all the way over here and sit down on the steps. And then *smugly* then i'll pray for him, okay?
God: Okay. *the guy gets up and goes and sits over nearby on the steps, still crying and trying not to*
sarah: arghhh......*drags herself over and kneels down, puts a hand on the guy's shoulder and starts to pray for him out loud*
maybe half hour later.
i stop, the guy turns and looks at me. awkward.
sarah: hi...
guy: hi...
sarah: GodtoldmetoprayforyousoIdid...*smiles nervously*
guy: well, you know what's weird?
sarah: yeah?
guy: when you started praying for me...i felt better. i feel better. like...i don't feel guilty anymore. i feel...like it's okay.
sarah: REALLY?! i'm sarah.
guy: i'm jude.
We hugged for a long hug then. And then we were friends. And no, it wasn't romantic or anything but after that i just made friends and i'm happy about that! and God spoke to me but i gotta go and i'll write more later. |
