ICE CREAM

Today I was at Chick-Fila with my brother. I was wondering if people who hate God don't like to eat there. The whole time you are there, shout to the Lord is playing on repeat, the people who work there call you sir four hundred times and everyone is pretty clean cut. I'll have to admit that if I worshiped Satan I would still eat those tasty christian sandwiches. I still wondered how it made people feel. As I was standing in line this autistic kid was staring at his ice cream with passion and slowly licking his ice cream like it was from a scene of a dirty movie. Something mesmerized me about this little kid. I watched him with a big grin for about a minute. I think his mom even laughed at him because he was so in the moment. I mean, there could have been a nuclear blast ending life as we know it, and this kid would have been content. It reminded me about sweetness of life. I want to lick my ice cream cone and make people feel uncomfortable. I like how the least always teaches us what life is really about. I guess the last really is first.

Thank you

At times over the past couple years I've been so down and hurt. There was a time when it was hard to wake up, and even imagine finding joy again. I was in counseling today and tears where streaming down my face because of the gratitude of every person who sewed into me over the past couple of years. Those people are, Chad and Connie Runge, Brit and Nick Johnson, My mom and Dad, my Bro Quinn and Tara, John Stockman, Noah and Corrie Fletcher, Rodney Taylor, Johnathan Jones, Chance Craven, Jordan Bogart, Ryan Shelley, Dave Harder, and Dr. Greg. This is just a few of the people who were in the trenches with me, and today I was so overwhelmed by looking back on God's love pouring out of these people. Audra has been the most significant of them all. We met at a time when I was pretty angry still, and she just had a call from God to stick it out and love me through. I've experienced so much healing its exciting, and over the break we were able to celebrate victory. God came through! He always does. I'm engaged to an amazing woman who loves me like I never knew possible. April 9th will be about celebrating Gods faithfulness. He won it for us, and all you are apart of his plan to see that happen. We will celebrate together Gods amazing love and faithfulness! This is your victory too! Thank you for loving me and being a part of the story.
