My birthday...

Well yesterday was my birthday, the day of my entry into this world. I turned twenty-three years old yesterday. To be totally honest, it was one of the best ones that I've ever had.
The night before, we had set up at West Monroe First and stayed there a while trying to get things just right. After we got through, against my initial judgment, we went to Waffle House. I am a closet fan of Waffle House, or at least that's the only thing that I can come up with to describe my feelings for it. Anyway, after eating too much and having at least one too many cups of coffee, I wound up staying up until about 1:30am. This put a great kink in my normally getting up at 6:45am to workout and throw bad guys around and do my morning flying and what not. So, needless to say, Thursday morning I didn't quite wake up and make it to do those things that well, I do.
That night I got to talk to someone that is totally amazing. I just don't see how God could create such an awesome person with such awesome powers and capabilities and gifts. It totally doesn't make sense. Sometimes the greatest gifts that we can recieve aren't the ones that we deserve. If we all got what we deserved it would be death, we are all born evil and into an evil world. But through the love of Christ he continues to bless us and give us people and relationships in our lives. I really believe that on the night of March 9, 1982...when I was born into this world...I believe that God smiled down on my parents and on me because he knew even then the mission that he had for me and for this someone that I'm talking about. TWENTY-THREE years ago! He knew! He knew about us before he even created the world. How totally amazing is that?
This person, has a way to speak the words of God and the words of encouragment to me like no other. I never have to wonder as to whether or not they are praying for me and fighting along side of me. I have never had an experience or relationship like that. It's really amazing. It's so awesome how just on conversation or even just a couple of words can make a day seem so much more intense. Those words are even more impacting when they are God inspired. So to you, that person that I talked to, thank you for allowing God to use you. And everyone else, thank you for being who you are to me and continuing to fight for Christ. Thanks for the great birthday everyone! The Tokyo and Be Cool was totally awesome. "I AM COOL!!" See you in the clouds...
