Open Doors

A lot’s happen for me in the past couple of days. If you don’t mind reading, well… here goes: Last Friday while attending a BTM Cafe Night I had a strong desire to share the Gospel. That night there were a couple of visitors one of them was named JM, a friend of a friend. Long story short, after the event I got to talking with him. After about 10 mins of sharing to him the Good News, He gave His life to Christ. Sunday came, I had originally planned to hangout with some of the Garden Grove PCC/UCC people after their service. Yet for some reason, those plans fell through. But I love how when man’s plans fail, God’s plan prevail. I had forgotten (sad to say) that it was my father’s 54th birthday (geez he’s like double my age so there’s some wisdom there). While at my dad’s house I hungout with my younger cousin’ on my step mom’s side and talked to her about her being a Seventh Day Adventist. I shared to her various scripture about worshiping God and then other cousins came. So while I had a “captive audience” I shared to them my poetry, my testimony, and then I shared to them the Gospel. My cousin who was the Seventh Day? She gave her life to Christ. Funny thing too, one of my cousin’s boyfriends, John said to me, “You should be a pastor” and I told him, “I’m not called to be a pastor, maybe just a POETIC PREACHER.” Monday comes. Originally I was to meet with a brother in the Lord who knew how to put background music to some poetry of mines. Those plans fell though, but I was able latter on in the day to go with him to his school, Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, to attend their Monday night bible studies. The study was on Matthew 23 about the seven woes to the Scribes and Pharisees. Long story short, what I got from was that it was time to be serious with God, time to stop being a hypocrite and start being a Christian in action. Later that night I hung out with my friend and his school mates. We talked about the school and how they enjoyed it, one of them even said, “you should seriously consider going to school. You’ll never be the same.” And so… wednesday morning I made the decision. I’m going to enroll in Biola and double major in Biblical Studies and Music Ministry. Why? Well, why not? I just want to know God more deeply than ever before. As I said last week during bible study, “it’s high time we all get serious. I’m done playing defense, it’s time we got on offense.” This time, I’m for real. No turning back. Interesting side note, so there were two girls I was into (yes I know it seems like I’m a player… I’m trying to learn not to do that). Long story short God allowed one to have a boyfriend and the other just wanted to be my friend. Both are Christian women so it’s all good. I have no problems with that. What I took out from this was God telling me “do I love Him more than this world’s got to offer.” And I said I do. I want Him more than anything, So he said follow me and become a fisher of men. I sure to feel like Apostle Peter right now, so impulsive, so rash. But just like Apostle Peter, I will echo his words from Acts 4:20, “for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
