I go to this revival expecting what I normally get out of them (if normally is anywhere close to what go's on). I normally get closer to the Lord for a while and it normally fades away within 2-3 weeks. But something was different tonight. First of all on of my heros Brian Simon wasn't playing in the praise band for once and at first I was a little bummed about that but it ended up being a HUGE blessing. Wait for this to make sense I need to back track. Right now I am having trouble finding what my purpose is in life. if you would have asked me 3 weeks ago what I wanted to do i would have an exact answer. But I'm not really sure what I want to do with my life right now. So back to my story.... The praise band is playing and they were good.... but it just wasn't really what I was expecting so I was having a hard time getting into the lords presence so I decided I was going to pray and get some things off my chest.
I was confessing a few things and asking for help with some issues I have. but the main focus of the prayer was asking what my purpose in life. So I'm getting nothing. Anyway the speaker (who totally looked like John Travolta) gave his sermon which was good but still didn't hit home. They had all of the youth leaders and just adults in general come up to pray for teens to help fill them up with the holy spirit. My parents and youth pastor went up and such and Brian was up there. I was hesitant at first because I wasn't sure what I wanted him to pray for me for and he was already praying with a couple of teens. So I decided that I was going to go have his wife Angela pray for me and that I was going to tell her about my issue of what I want to do with my life.
I get over to have her pray for me and she is praying with the couple with her husband. So feeling quite awkward about just standing their waiting on them, and not knowing the couple so I felt awkward about laying my hands on them to pray for them so I put my hand on Angela's shoulder to pray for the couple. They finish with the couple and Brian looks at me gives me a hug sort of embrace and asks me how I'm doing in the spirit. I told him "alright I guess" so he asks me if I want more and I said yes. So he told me to raise my hands to the Lord. They started praying for me and instantly I'm crying my head off, their praying, I'm praying, and what I came over their to pray about just went away.
So to make a crazy long amazing story short. I AM TOTALLY ON FIRE FOR GOD RIGHT NOW (and if that offends you then I DON'T CARE I love the Lord and there's nothing you can do about it). I still have no idea what i want do do with my life and that scares the crap out of me. And I thank Brian and Angela Simon for the best birthday present in my life (My birthday is on March 2nd, the revival was on the 1st). Sorry for the really serious posts. I'm normally not like this but when I'm not in a real serious mood then I'm not in the mood to sit and write a post. I'll try to lighten things up a little bit.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!
