So its me and Kimmy driving to Athens on friday night about 9 pm. We are headed north on Ga Hwy 441 at approximately 65mph. As you can see we are kinda bored and wanted to write a blog entry. Kim has confessed her undying love for Christian Bale, as we have just finished watching 3:10 to Yuma. She actually prefers to see him in Little Women. Im not really sure why, because he is pretty freakin’ smokin in this movie. He is entirely hotter in Batman if you ask me.
We have passed the point in our friendship when road trips require deep meaningful conversations. One might think that this is a sign that the relationship has no depth. However, we both agree that the fact that we can sit in silence for a long period of time, means that our friendship is very deep and unique.
Just so you know….I just screamed SHIT because Kimmy just ran a red light in a major intersection. We could have been killed and this would have been the last thing anyone would have read by either one of us. Pretty stinkin sad.
I think we are going to stop soon because I have to go…and I need some coffee. By the way call Shirley in Milledgeville, she can help with all your financial needs. (A billboard we passed)
I will keep you updated on the trip. We arrived at Alexa’s house around 11:30. Time to catch up and get some sleep before a big day of fun and friends.
Its funny to me how I assume that God is not speaking to me. I feel as though I lead a one sided conversation with Him. I talk and talk, never to hear a reply form the Lord. I must first say that I have had encounters with the living God where He has spoken quite clearly to me in a still small voice. Its just recently, I have been hearing nothing. I just finished reading in Hosea about Israel “whoring” against the Lord. I myself am that whore. I know that I have put many things and my own ambitions in the place of God, an idol if you will. After all this, I still would wonder why I didn’t hear what He was saying. I took some time tonight just sitting after asking the Lord to speak to me. I was quiet and unoccupied. I made an effort to be still and not think. If you know me at all, you know it was extremely hard for me to do. I had asked the Lord to forgive me of whoring and having the idols of my desires, my plans, and well my stubbornness. I sat. I waited. He spoke. It was a gentle correction, but He indeed spoke. It hit me hard because it was so simple, yet so complex. He said all I have do is be obedient. Obedience keeps us from whoring. Pretty simple right? How about complication in a simple term. However, all I have to do is be obedient. That’s an easier list to look at than a long list of things I need to do and things I can’t. I would much rather have a simple “to do list” that reads: 1. Be Obedient. That’s all that’s on my list everyday. I guess I must say that I am stoked and relieved that the Lord spoke to me even if it was gentle correction. I realize that I am so busy talking, that I REALLY don’t listen. Be still.
