Hello, My Name Is...One Week and Now the Remainder of Life
So I tried it out. I did a week of 30 minutes in the Word. I think I missed one day. And I took a break from television. This was all to prepare me for Downtown Disney, where me and my bible study would do some ole fashion street evangelism.
I have loved being in the Word this much. Even though half an hour is nothing to brag about, it was so rewarding. I wasn't dreading it. I never looked forward to doing my five minute quiet times; I usually just got them out of the way. And yet I still walked around feeling godlier than a great many people. Staying in the Word just high lighted areas of my life I was withholding from him.
I read through 2 Timothy about five times this week. That book has a lot to say about spreading the Word, and living actively for Christ. It was very comforting and prepared me for my Disney night.
We met at John's place and has a time of praying over each other individually and singing praise to him. It's amazing how encouraging and inspiring it is to just experience something like this with a group of people who want to serve the Lord from their lowly places in life.
Downtown Disney itself, well, I didn't change any lives, at least as far as I could tell. I walked around with two others, Clarissa and Patrick. We didn't even get to talk to people until near the end. Clarissa and I randomly began dancing in the dance area at Downtown, and that's how we met a group of Disney College Programmers. Clarissa did most of the talking, and the two girls in the group seemed mildly repulsed the whole time, but I appreciated the experience. I can't wait to go back sometime. I think it'll get easier with time.
I am so happy to be doing something for God. I know this is how my whole life should be. And I really appreciate the friends I'm making while doing it.
It's still a little stressful though. I hate the feeling of uncertainty. All these people are nice and outgoing, but when I came in they all had their lives already going here, complete with schools, jobs, and friends. I basically rely on them for a life, but they all have perfectly happy lives going, and they doesn't necessarily require my friendship to complete them. I don't know when it's going to change from getting to know people to actually knowing people. I think that will just occur with time. I get along with all of them and getting to know them better. I just hate uncertainty.
Look at me, turning just a kind bible study bunch into social fret. I am too self conscious; I need CONfidence!
