• Man, this weekend was really eventful to say the least, hehe. Sunday was just awesome. Not much really happened on Saturday.

  
  

  So Sunday, I woke up and went straight to church. On the way over to church. I was thinking, it was so natural for me to get up and go to church today. Like routine. I didn't even think about it. Just got up and left. It was really something. I would soon find out why it was so natural. I promise everyone that Sunday was a day specifically prepared for me. Everything was just perfect.

  
  

  So I'm at church and Pastor Bagwell wasn't in. Instead, Pastor Nortoon preached. He preached about being the one. He preached about how God is the God of second chances. He preached about things that I already knew about. Yet, it was really different this time. It was like I didn't know it at all. At the end of his message, I was just weeping and crying. I had really despised the kind of person I had become. I hated the way my life was going and it just wasn't who I am. At first, he didn't give an altar call, but just prayed for people where they were. However, the Spirit really urged him to give an altar call. I was the first one up there and when I got to the altar, I just fell on my knees and was weeping. Just crying out to God. Telling Him how sorry I was and how I needed Him more than ever. Thanking Him for everything. Just on and on and on. I didn't care who saw me and I didn't care that I was on my knees and weeping like a little baby. I needed God again and I made it known publicly. It was so refreshing and so really needed. I just Praise God for that. They weren't really tears of sadness, but rather tears of refreshment, of desperation, of need. I wasn't sad at all. I was being refreshed and renewed, just like God promised He would do.

  
  

  It was really neat too cause I turned in the membership papers so I would make myself an official member of the church. Even though I've been going for a long period of time already. They have a new members class this Tuesday and next Tuesday. It's a 2 day course. That is no mere coincidence. It was God who told me to sign up to become a member too so that was really cool to see. Praise God.

  
  

  So after church, I stopped by Family Christian store and picked up The Best From Rebecca St. James cd. It's such an awesome cd. I can't get enough of it, hehe. Just awesome music from such an awesome sister in Christ. Praise God for her. I like the cd a lot. Just listening to it nonstop. In fact, I'm listening to it right now, haha.

  
  

  So then I went to play volleyball at Chinese school as I usually do on Sundays. I won every game except for the last one cause we were already over our time limit so I just hit the ball out of bounds to end the game. We would have come back to win though. At least had a better chance of doing that anyway, haha. It was a really close game. It was fun.

  
  

  After that, I went home to clean up cause I went and saw The Passion of the Christ. Such an awesome awesome movie. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would. It followed the gospel of John really well. There were some parts of the movie that weren't chronologically correct, but they did a great job of portraying what Jesus went through. Hearing people say things about the movie didn't do the movie any justice at all. People said it is really really violent. It wasn't as violent as I thought it would be. It wasn't anti-semetic at all. The Jews are still God's chosen people. They always were and they always will be. Jesus was Jewish anyway. If there is any animosity, it would be towards the Romans. For being so violent. Doesn't change my love though and it most definitely doesn't change God's love for them. The movie was intense. It wasn't so much sad for me. It was really refreshing and it made me feel really triumphant. Just unstoppable by the forces of evil. Cause Jesus wooped up the devil that day and He passed that authority onto us. I even started laughing in my car just thinking about the enemy. Just the joy of the Lord because we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus.

  
  

  I was also able to talk to Bobby before and after I saw the movie. It was great and awesome fellowship. Even though it was over the phone and on the internet. Another really cool thing that happened was a sister of mine wants me to help her study the Bible. I think that's just awesome to hear because that's what I've been wanting to do with my friends for a long time. I don't know everything, but what I do know, I love to share with people because it was awesome revelation to me and I just want to pass that on to my brothers and sisters and sinners alike. Everyone deserves to know these things.

  
  

  I just have to say that I'm happy where I'm at now. It's all because of Jesus and all because of God. I'm happy with the person God's molded me to be thus far. I'm happy to be back on that straight and narrow path. Praise God. Glory to the Almighty. Thank you Father. Love you Jesus. Blessed be His Holy Name. Holy Spirit, I love you. God is good, all the time and all the time, God is good. Take care and God Bless you all abundantly. I love you all very much.
