Just Kinda a Funny Story

Be patient... I swear that this blog has to do with God...

So... when I was an intern at CMC... for the first six months I lived with my big brother Nick... It was a little pile of a house in Keyport... well it was tiny and sorta made me think of a cottage... haha... dont really know why... the house was empty.. only my brothers bed and and endtable that the tv was on...er maybe it was on the stereo... anyway... i slept on the living room floor... but his room was just off of the living room so even when we were in our "beds"we were still able to talk and stuff... we would watch tv together (mostly Moulin Rouge)... and sometimes he would come home at like 1 in the morning with jack in the box and we would eat.. and because we just ate jack in the box we felt we couldnt go right back to sleep so we would watch more Moulin Rouge... and we went almost everywhere together... i loved riding in his car with him... and sitting in the house doing nothing with him... starving with him (all we had in the fridge ever was tabasco and soy nuts) freezing with him (it was winter and the house had no heat or insulation) i would follow him all around the house just cuz i didnt like to be away from him... even when he was in the bathroom (not using it ok... brushin his teeth er somethin) i would stand in the door and keep talking to him... i love him soo much (and of coarse still do)... i never wanted to be a way from him

All that to say... God brought this to my mind last night... I was having a day yesterday (dont really know how to explain what kinda day... just a day) so i asked the pastor if i could go to the church to pray and have some alone time with God instead of going to the Rehabilitation Center... he said yes... so i went... well i was there from 3 pm to 9:30 pm... thats like 6 hours... and i prayed and worshiped and read my bible for the whole time... before this trip that wasnt something i could easily have done (probably impossible) but the funny thing was that even after six hours of it i didnt really want to leave... well during that six hours God brought me the memory of living with my brother Nick... and He said to me....

This is what Im like with you!!!!! That He wants to be around me all the time... Not only does He love me (and this goes for you too) but He likes me sooo much that He follows me around all day... just like a little brother with his big brother... If i go here.. He wants to come... If i go there... He wants to go... But the really amazing part is... He isnt just hanging out along side of me... The Spirit of God... the one who created you and me and the stars and oceans and pandas... That same God (well really the only one there is) His Spirit lives... right inside of me... INSIDE OF ME... and if your a christian... INSIDE OF YOU TOO!!!... just stop and think about that for a second...mmm...pretty crazy if you ask me... this is a common knowledge among chritians but i think that sometimes we forget its implications... His love, patience, joy, peace, wisdom, discernment, guidence (this list goes on)... these arent things that we have to go looking for somewhere else... this things are alive in us!!!!!! They came to us with His Holy Spirit... they are all there.. waiting for use to use and take advantage of... and to share with other people... And i really think we forget the impications of the authority that comes with it as well... Really the authority to do amazing things in his name... but thats a whole different topic!!!!!!! Just remember... God wants to hang out with you today!
