| Ok guys well i am back... finally. my neck hurt like crazy yesterday... i hated it, those buses are not the most comfortable at all... This weekend was great. i have NEVER gone through anything like it before. I mean the rollercoasters and stuff yeah, but not what God put me through. It was amazing, i got to speak with like 5 people about their faith, and on top of that lead a sermon over Matthew 8:23-27. I was so nervous but all-in-all it was great. i pretty much stayed with robby julie, taylor, david and kimberly the whole time. every once in a while we would have alli, kristi, lara, miranda, and sarah with us, but that was rare! lol. but yeah i felt that God was really with every one of us throughout this trip. man my heart is racing right now just thinking about it. my friendship with Robby and David really increased. It sucks that it has taken so long but im gla it happened eventually. Robby is by far one of my best, if not my best, friend. i know i could tell him anything and he would be there for me and pray for me at all times. Lara is still WAY down in Florida, please pray that her and her family have a safe trip home. also pray for nathan... he is in an odd place right now and i really feel like he needs some help. not only from us but definetly God too. Me and him have seperated our friendship, and it sucks, but i still care for him and will pray for him for as long a i can. I have been discussing 1John and it really emphasizes to love one another, and because of this discussion in FCA i feel that i can really relate to this and use quite naturally. I really wanna get into a discipleship class... i feel that i could use it all the time. Being here in East Texas you dont see much homosexualism or too many people that dont at least know something about Jesus. My trip to Orlando has shown me that i have been luckily sheltered from all of that. I feel that it would MUCH harder to be a christian in a place such as Orlando because of all the things that are wrong that people are confronted with everyday which we only hear about. I realized this as me and robby and julie were walking through "Old Town" one night looking for a shop that was selling Bibles, so that we could give them to some of the band people that really need them. Honestly while i was walking through Old Town, i felt that i was on Bourbon Street. I was afraid, especially since we were carrying our Bibles. I was truly scared. Not so much for our lives, but for the people there that obviousle had no idea about Christ. Because of this trip i feel that i am going to be more prepared for the NY trip because i know that what i saw in Orlando is only a portion of things that i will see in NY. Ok well this is a super long entry but i needed to say it, so now i will say thank oyu all for reading it and thank you for being here for me.
Later, Caleb |
