Topic: Day to day stuff
Thurs. 6-2-05
Kim and Julie came over, had a look around the house, talked with mom and then dad followed by some card games and a rather ruined start at watching the movie Hook.
They left at a good time for them. I then went on the computer and talked with Kim Schmidt online. Her brother’s birthday party was delayed so that her older brother could be there for it. She’s been reading some Isaiah among others being reassured of some promises she’s been given from God. We’re both praying for the ability to spend ACTUAL time with God. I felt like I should fast Friday and told God I’d do it if it was sunny outside. I went to bed thinking that I had work at 10 instead of 1:30 because I looked on the wrong day on my calendar.
Fri. 6-3-05
I woke up in the morning at 8:45 but stayed in bed until 9:30 when I looked at my clock again. I got up thinking I was late for work and then looked at my calendar with a sigh of relief. Guess what! It was sunny outside and birds were singing. So I left for work without eating, parked my car in the back of the lot by a patch of grass, listening to worship music, praying, and trying to listen to God. This went on for a while in the hot sun and nice breeze. I went to sit in my car eventually because the sound of the car was overbearing the radio from my position on the grass. I asked God for a verse. I got Isaiah 32:8 “But the Noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands.” I didn’t think this was some big revelation so I looked at the verses my study bible connects with it. Didn’t get much from that. Then I went inside to get a drink of water, came back out, lay back for a while listening to the radio. Suddenly the loudest crack of thunder I’ve heard in a long time (real close) just as a song on the radio is about God’s thunder. I sit up “Lord show us your glory.” I look at the radio tower across the street thinking it would be cool to see lightning strike it. Not too much longer after that, I see lightning stretch from the dark cloud coming towards Publix, wrap around the tower and that loud thunder again at the same time. (I knew it was close from that.) I whistled in awe. “Thanks God” then I listened to some more music actually hearing the lyrics now. Soon it was time to go in to work just as it was about to rain. It rained just a bit to cool off things and water the plants. Then the rest of the day was sunny and I didn’t have to dry off many carts. At home Kim was on again and I told her about my time fasting all day, did some other things online until 12 when I broke my fast having 2 sandwiches, some apple sauce and apple juice.
Sat. 6-4-05
I had seen some Chicken A-la King in the cupboard the day before and woke up praying for the ones I’m assigned to as well as a few I’m not who had been involved with recent activities. Finally around 10 something, I got up went into the kitchen, had some of my favorite breakfast, found Kim online again but didn’t talk long ‘cause mom wanted to check her emails. I grab the walk about phone, go in my room and call Jake, Betsy, and Julie to go to the park, waking every one of them up when it was almost 12! I emailed directions to the girls for the park I had in mind. Mark and I got ready, went to pick up Jake and had fun at the park not shooting hoops very well and lazily throwing the Frisbee around. We got tired and it was getting cloudy so we went back to Jakes house and called the girls so they would not go to the park (caught them just in time before they left) We cleaned up and borrowed some shirts from Jake, went over to the girl’s house, watched The Emperor’s New Groove picked out by Mark which turned out to be just the right movie before going to eat some subs at a place close to there. Then I took Jake home, returned his shirt, drove home to get my own change of shirt and drop off Mark before racing past Mom and Dad on the way to Night of Worship.
I was glad to see that all three of the girls came to the meeting and did not want to sit down before worship time for fear I’d be stuck there. I ended up sitting down anyway and could not get up all through worship until the last moment after I had finished drawing the two pictures I was given. In the middle of worship, Scott got a word I knew was for Julie, then a bit later he came over to me with a word for me that I would know the time for what God has planned for me though I may not know how it will be done. This was an answer to the prayer I had been praying in my fast. I had gotten the picture I knew I was to draw earlier on but also knew that I was to wait a while before drawing. I kept trying to see if I could get up for worship but could not, then I felt released to draw what I had seen and knew when I was finished, I would be able to stand and move freely. It was so and I danced a bit in the back with my new flaming sword that I’ve had for a while but not envisioned as I did now and my shield of faith bigger than I had envisioned it before. I placed this anointing silently on those I was led to at the times I was led to do so. Including the following: All the Finks except perhaps Sandra. I do not know why. Betsy 2-3 times… Kim a few times… We decided to go out to eat together and on the way to Wataburger 1 little nasty was kicked out of the car ahead of me and rolled down the road “looking” like it wanted to cry. I had felt like it was for Julie too but not until the end when leaving Wataburger. Then it was on to the girls’ house (another nasty taken off but held until we passed the school and church area to be thrown in the gutter next to the parking lot) for the picture of the Lion at Life Church to be scanned (set a ministering angel at the ladder of the bunk bed, warrior angel on the other end to take off the junk and another by the window to toss them out) and a back rub to be given to Kim. I heard Betsy sigh or breath at one point, which made me think that something was going on with her. I do not know if that was just me or something else. As I left and was heading towards my car, one more thing had to be done, so I turned around and set two more warrior angels (all of these were very big) to take what was thrown out and banish them to the same gutter. On the way home I felt I should turn off the music and pay attention, stopped one nasty crawling towards me from the back of my car and sent him flailing into the night. I got home, went to mom’s room to tell her I was home (2:00 AM at least) She was reading. She asked me if I was sweet on one of the girls. I told her no. She asked me if I was telling the truth. I said yes very warn out and walked to my room to get some sleep.
Just as I was getting into bed and comfortable, mom walks in and asks me if I’ll go with her to pray early and go to Life church. “Sure. Just wake me up in the morning.”
Sunday 6-5-05
5 hours later, I’m waking up and getting dressed. I had found out from listening to the girls’ conversation that Life had a 9:00 and 10:30 service so after taking mom to the Vineyard to pray and helping bring in the breakfast food, we went to Life church. 15 minutes after 9:00 we walk in and join in the worship toward the back with a stage in front of us consisting of 4 singers, a piano player, drummer and I’m not sure if there was a guitar. There was, however two nice TV screens on stage on either side showing a replaying clip of Yoda’s recent battle with Count Duku. It came to my mind that that was a loosing battle. An assistant pastor came up and said a little something about how and why they worship and that everyone had the freedom to worship however they were comfortable with. This struck me and I prayed that this congregation would break out of comfortableness into the leading of the Spirit, which is not always comfortable. Then another clip of star wars which the speaker explained very well into his teaching for that morning having to do with accountability. Mom and I both needed this. After the service was done, we left for Vineyard with plenty of time to grab some food and sit down to talk. I was stuck in my seat in worship again and got a very cool picture that is hard to describe with words and even harder to draw so I just started with whatever words God gave me and wrote them all down in succession as I saw what happened around me.
Reading it by its self is very jumbled but I’ll try to explain it a bit.
A fire Burns. They Circle ‘round. Rhythm. Fists of Fury. {Spiritual Battle}

A turn. A Smile. {Betsy felt like giving Julie a little twirl right next to where I was sitting this whole time} LOVE.
That’s where I ended and I was able to get out of my seat, let Julie and Betsy read this {Though they didn’t have anything within these markings {}} plus all my bad spelling. They didn’t seem to understand it like I did which I didn’t expect. So then I ate some more sweets, took out the garbage, went home, logged off the computer to start typing this, Emptied the dishwasher and washed the dishes. Jon came home and took the computer back while I was doing this so I went in my room and watched a silly monkey movie that mark picked out to rent, Mom came home and Aubry came to watch I’m David so I watched that with them after that and then we watched Shall We dance. Finally I make myself some sandwiches with chips and apple sauce, get on the Computer, and type away until now when my dad is asking me to help him finish putting together Jon’s new Futon since his waterbed got a leak and he’s at work.
