Rain On Whyte *not alone*

This post has to do with something that I can't get enough of. Yesterday ( June 23:Wednesday) I decided to go to Edmontons famous "Whyte Ave" I didn't want to go for shopping or picking up ladies, I wanted to go for some alone time, some Jordan and Jesus time (he and I go way back to '88) I took the train, listened to my iPod the whole way. I'm hooked on a new song by the good old Backstreet Boys....thats right...BSB. Their song is called "Weird World" I like the song not just for the message, but just the music in it, its comforting to me and I enjoy getting lost in the piano tones of that song. Now I went and did my thing in Chapters as I drank my coffee, on my way out I had such a great time. Pieces of a Blue Sky were patched up there mixed with a soft orange blend on the bottom. On the top these black clouds were pressed into the sky like a background as others hung very very low. There was something in the air that night, the smell of the rain, the smell of whyte ave, the smell of this one girls perfume. I felt so alive as I walked to the University, I felt like something I had been missing so long was coming out of me, like an old best friend came back to visit me. God and I had a great time, I talked with him as I felt his presence in the wind, haha, I'm walking down whyte, under this mysteriously beautiful sky, crying, crying because God paid me an overdue visit, he came to say hello and keep me company on my way home, so I walk and shed tears. I'm not really sure what I'm getting at here, this post might be my most irrelevant to date, but I felt God last night, in the sky, in the smells of the air, in the backstreet boy song (yup) I felt him and his presence hovering over my heart, ridding it of its stockpile of sins and regrets. I honestly never expected him to visit me, but nonetheless I'm glad he did. On my bus ride home I noticed this (what I thought) was a very young girl about 14 years of age on a trip. She was doing some type of drug or many types but the instant I looked at her face, I felt such an impression on my heart to pray for her, and to pray hard. And I did just that, I knew I was done when I felt better, more then better. God makes a point of reviewing our hearts passions every now and then, to see where our faith is, to have us see where our faith is. It would be awesome to do good works by faith everyday all day without screwing up and/or giving up. But the truth is, everyday needs to be taken hold of, and brought before God. I'm ready to give God his days, it'll be a slow start, but its a two way commitment, and I know he's all in. There will always be something in the Rain for me, I suggest to all of you, if there is a storm nearby, a beautiful storm, go outside and talk to God....please.

I was in chill'n in Chapters on Whyte yesterday, as well. SO YOU WERE THE GUY sitting on the couch/ chair in Starbucks crying... :-) I like this: "I'm ready to give God his days." Feeling very poetic today, aren't we?!
