Good Ol' God

                  Have you ever had one of those moments where you can just feel God around you? I just had one of those. I get inspired by God at such random times. Right now it's almost 3:30 AM, I'm sitting in my room, I look about half crazy, hair everywhere, makeup running down my face....but God chose to visit me anyway haha I was talking to one of my new friends. He is one of those people you meet and you feel like you can sum them up in a about a second, but then you start talking to them and you figure out you were completely wrong. When I first met this guy...he didn't seem like the God loving type. He was a little crazy and to be honest he seemed a little pervy. (Apparently I'm just not used to hanging out with groups of guys...because they can be dirty lol) I've always thought I wasn't the type of person to be judgmental, but apparently I am. Never assume you know someone before you actually get to know them...that was my lesson for the day. This guy that I thought was just a crazy dirty guy is actually in a Christian metalcore band dedicated to spreading the word of God to people who typically do not get witnessed to. How awesome is that?? I know what you might be thinking, if the impression you got from this guy is one of a pervy crazy guy, then maybe he isn't doing a good job of representing the Christian nation. I thought that way too. But really...he's no different than me or you. He is an imperfect follower of Christ and doesn't try to pretend he is something he's not. He is real. This is a Christian who is trying to reach people for God. This guy pleasantly surprised me....and that doesn't happen very often. Someone who I thought would just be another acquaintance ended up being an inspiration to me. Something I've tried to work toward for a while now is viewing each person as God sees them. He loves unconditionally, and that's something I want so much. To spread love where I can. We're all just people.......imperfect, broken, precious, LOVED sons and daughters of Christ.  <3
