Better Than Christmas!!

Repost from my Myspace blog, 5-4-08

Tonight, I lie in bed, eyes wide open, heart racing, mind running at a thousand miles an hour. No sleep for me. Not now, anyways.

Not because I'm upset, or anxious, or worried... because I'm filled with such anticipation. I haven't felt this way since I was a child. Christmas eve. Fat flakes of snow falling in the sky. Wondering what presents will be under the tree for me in the morning.

Thjs morning (Sunday), at about 11:15, my dad will walk up on the stage at City of Life after attending the Men's Experience. Forty hours of face-to-face, heart-to-heart time with God. I will see my dad, changed.

After 8 years of waiting. Eight years of disappointment, disbelief, disfunction! Eight years, all culminating in a revelation of restoration!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it! God is soooo soooo sooo amazing.

The 126th Psalm is my life right now:

WHEN THE Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal].Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad! Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the South. They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing. He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
