Over 6 Hours At Chili's

First of all, the new Da T.R.U.T.H. cd comes out today! I'm excited and have been waiting for this for awhile now!!!

So, I'm new at the blogging thing, but I think I'm going to try to "blog" a lot. That's how you're supposed to do it, right?

So, I go out last night and sit at Chili's for over 6 hours with a friend. She's a great Christian woman and we just sat there, talked, laughed, told stories, gave each other advice, shared our weaknesses.... I don't know how to explain how great this was. (Oh, and for those of you wondering, yes, there was NO drinking LOL). I had more fun doing that, then when I was running around the night clubs and all that mess. God has put a couple of people in my life that has changed my life, and for that I'm forever thankful!

I never thought I could have fun sitting in one place for that long with no alcohol. Especially with ADHD (which, last night caught me off guard and got me sidetracked some haha). On that same note, I never thought I could have fun in church during a service. I went to church as a kid all the way up to high school, and then occasionally from there on out. NEVER had fun during a sermon. I never thought I would have a true passion for the things of Jesus. I never thought I would look to the Father for advice, or understand as I'm reading my Bible, or WANT to pray and feel bad because I don't think I pray enough, or BEG the Holy Spirit to convict me of my wrongs, or, or, or.

Pay attention! I have realized that by totally giving my life to Christ, and striving to live a God-First life that He has given me all of these thoughts, feelings, emotions, convictions, hungers, desires, etc. I've asked for them and BOOM! If you are a Christian and think "ok, this person is overally excited about this or that" or if you're unsaved and feel that some of these people are exaggerating their feelings, then I challenge you. I challenge you to first make sure you are saved. Second of all I challenge you that for 2 weeks, you pray every morning and every night (even if its just a few seconds) that God give you the excitement, the love, the understanding, the hunger and the desire that you see in all of these people that you feel may be fake.

Please don't hesitate. Act now! (LOL, now i've turned into an infomercial). This is an amazing feeling that all of you need!

And then God will put the best people possible into your lives. Even if it's just one more person that push's you and all of that, it will work out tremendously!

If anyone is reading this, thank you for reading.
