What a day...

Today was a spiritual edventure. The day started out great and I had a great workout and spent some time in the word and then I tried to go to lunch. When I got to lunch, Dorothy, the sweet meal plan lady, told me that I needed to get a meal plan, which I had already done. Then I remembered that I have not gotten all my financial situation strightened out yet. I have to apply for a $15,000 private loan to cover my expenses this year and I had already tried to apply but my cosigner was rejected due to poor credit. I was really depressed and dissapointed all at the same time, my own family can not take care of me and it really sunk in. Both my mom's parents are wealthy, but not really willing to go out of there way to help people out. My grandmother promised and delivered on $1,000 this year btu that is all she is willing to give and I know that even is generous. So the financial adventures continued when I tried to apply for another loan with a second cosigner and the website was down. Oh, well at least I tried.

Tonight at youth group, I led worship and I loved it. The only problem is that no one else was worshiping along with the team and I. I played my electric guitar and all my pedals tonight which was very fun. We only had a 3 piece tonight, but we rocked the set pretty hard. It was very annointed during practice and we were loving it and then the rest of the kids got there. I was really bummed to be one of the only people pouring my heart out to God and to open my eyes and see the rest of the people just standing there.

One of the leaders told me afterwards that the Lord showed her a picture of the Throne Room and that God was standing up, like a father when their kid gets his attention. This was a cool image and I am glad that God was pleased, but I would like the rest of the group to be in the Throne Room with me. I am encouraged because I know that a spark was put in the hearts of the two kids that played with me tonight and I am fired up to play some more worship music with them. We really had fun experimenting and playing some classic worship songs very loud and distorted. Ok, so they were all about 3-4 years old, in the infancy for a worship song.

I got to share from my heart about finding a way to worship God that is there own and to worship in Spirit and in Truth. I hope to keep on encouraging them to press in and worship however the spirit leads.

Oh and USC lost today to Texas, I am bummed about that (I wanted the Pac-10 to do well in bowl games) but I know how trivial and fleeting that really is. It was a very exciting finish and from what I hear an awsome game to watch.

What a crazy day (spiritually and yes I know football is not spiritual)!!!
