Can't sleep...thus I blog.

Sleep hasn't been coming easily recently. For some reason, I find myself stricken with anxiety while lying down to rest. Very odd for me. My dad compares me to a baby...I'll sleep anywhere, anytime, and in the oddest positions. My neck is very flexible. Anyways...so not the point. In an attempt to proactive and not reactive to my situation, I have chosen blogging about God's work in my life to be an effective way of using this time. A reactive way would be to chug large quantities of Nyquil...not a good idea!

I spoke with my dear, sweet friend Julie today. She disciples me and I love the time we share together, even through the phone. It is amazing to me how God can close the age gap between us and form such a wonderful friendship. I love her family. Her husband and children simply fantastic as well! Jules and I had touched on some very important topics this time. I've noticed how our talks have begun reaching at more mature level on my part...and this is precisely the goal! I asked Julie to disciple me for the reason to have a mentor. She is helping me go deeper in my relationship with God and that relationship is becoming much more mature. I'm very pleased! One of the topics we touched on was a new church I tried. I enjoyed Fresh Fire Fellowship and I think it's important for me to meet with a form of leadership at that church to pursue a deeper involvement with it. I'm very excited!

One thing I'm learning is that I no longer want to just experience the Presence. I want to live in it. Instead of mentioning the random moments of Him...I want to have to mention the random of moments of stepping out of it. I want my current state to be completely reversed. I want to live under His waterfalls and never step out into the world. I want to carry His presence with me every where. I know He has offered it to me. It is time I surrender all of my burdens and accept it!

Just a few of my thoughts.

Love love love
