After church, I prepared myself to go to the beach to take pix for my buddy Matt Killen. He's taken the initiative to sell tie-dye shirts. I called up my buddy Ciaran to come with me. i invited more friends.. but it's cool that the people who were involved are Christians.
as I'm typing this, my mom is in surgery having an ovarian cyst removed. i'm in the family waiting area with my brother and my dad. we're chillin' now but everyone's been on pins and needles except me. I'm glad for the time that I had yesterday b/c I had to get away from the stress. my mom's a soldier... she's loving... kind... blunt.... not really in-your-face... but she comes from humble beginnings. my dad's kind of the opposite haha. so ... it's been crazy leading up to the time before my mom's surgery. my mom isn't all big into us buying her flowers and stuff like that. she's tough as nails y'kno? but generous and sweet...
tempers were flaring so i had to get away and go to the beach to take pix for my buddy. having ciaran come was cool.
Ciaran brought his guitar and as we got to the beach he busted out a tune.
his tune was melodic but also included a rap
my buddy K.C. was there as well, but he was buried under homework so he couldn't join us much.
After Ciaran busted out the freestyle we started taking pix a bit for Matt's tie dye shirts.
before we went throughout the beaches taking pix... my buddy asked if I could pray for him.
what an honor. in the new testament, it's big to 'lay hands' on someone when you pray for them as a sign of enhanced faith when praying. Ciaran, Matt, and I placed a hand on KC and I prayed for him.
It's awesome to be used like that for God and for his people. Just reaffirms that my past is not my present and that God can use anybody. Game's not over y'kno?
we rode around the beaches taking pix in different spots... houses... lawns... pile of mulch... a park... and most of all... traveling with guitars. i felt like we were a group of troubadors from the 'olden days'.
here's some previews.
since the weather is cooling off... we knew that it won't be hot for much longer. it was a good chill time. i meditated then read chapter one of Craig Groeschel's 'Chazown' [hebrew word for 'Dream'/ 'Vision'. pronounced khkhaw-ZONE (make sure you get that hacking sound)].
my buddies are big into meditation as well. while i was reading they were in the water.. but when they came back.. they laid down, began to meditate, and i read to them part 1 and 2 of chapter 1. It was good practice for me since I want to be an audio reader/ voice talent. As the sun was setting we went back to matt's to drop him off, said goodbye, and Ciaran and I rode back to Arlington.
we were all one one accord. Matt ministered to us from Matthew. I prayed for KC. Ciaran played music. It was a good wholesome time.
Praise God.
Peace out guys.
