Sunny Day

I awoke this morning at about 5:30am, and could not go to sleep. I was hungry, for food and for God. It was weird, I had never experienced anything like it. So I got up, got dressed and read a little in my Bible. I read 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 -- "But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing." I thought it was interesting that we are to be the aroma... not only the salt of the Earth (taste), light of the world (sight) but also the aroma of God (smell)... interesting.

I went downstairs to eat breakfast, and Dave was cooking some pourage. So, he made me some with coffee and a bagel. I havn't had a breakfast that early, and that good in a long time. Anyway, he told me about his quiet time, he read Genesis 14... Which I am hoping to read today sometime. Interesting stuff!

After breakfast, Janie asked to me to go on a prayer walk in Colchester. She said for me to let God open my senses and have him tell me something in stuff that I see, hear, smell, etc. Coincidence? I think not!

During my walk, I saw a lot of doors. You are probably thinking, "Duh, there are a lot of doors everywhere." Well, I think that God was telling me that Colchester is a door to greater things. I saw doors with ivy growing on them, some that were black and decaying (spiritual life of Colchester, some people are thriving and some are not).

Also while walking, I passed a group of guys around my age. Didn't really think anything of it, until I passed them another 2 times! Weird huh? So, there I think God wants me to focus on guys my age, maybe... this will take some more prayer.

Anyway... until next time!
