Last night, I was sitting in my room going through songs to worship with, and I suddenly got a feeling that I'm supposed to find the song Deliver Me by David Crowder Band. Well I search through 40 songs, praying and just hitting the button with my eyes closed, and don't find it. So I open my eyes just to type it out and search for it. I realized it was like 150 songs down, and that it would have taken a very long time to find it just pushing the button. But then I realized that God just wanted me to keep searching for it. Sometimes u have to wait a while.
So I listened, and prayed and went on. Then I was asking for a vision, or for him to speak to me, and he told me to go outside. At first, I thought it was just my head or my mind, so i didn't. But then the door in the living room opened and I heard it in my room, so I figured that was a sign to go. Then I walk outside, and sit on my driveway, just looking up and being in AWE of the sky first. It's just so big, and HE created all that. It just made me in awe that He could do ALLLL that. After a while, I decided id go back inside. But something stopped me. That something was the very lesson God had just taught me through the Deliver Me song, He wanted to tell me more, but I needed to wait for it. So I asked him to reveal whatever it was to me, and waited.
A little bit later, I was thinking about how crazy it would’ve been if I had walked outside and it was something like moses and the burning bush. (CRAZY, I know ;]) But seriously, how cool would that be if I had gotten to talk to God directly. Then I wondered, why don’t people get to talk to god these days like they used to in the old days? Which made me think of that scientific fact that says only 10% of the human brain is used. Could it be true about our love for God? We think that on this walk with Christ, which is much like a roller coaster, were at 100% connectivity, and were only at 10%?This is why maybe we can’t experience Him in such EXTREME measures. We don’t even come close enough to being ready for that direct conversation. Back in the olden days they didn’t have nearly as many distractions, so those who wanted could spend a TON of time with Him. Eventually, to certain individuals, He would reveal Himself to them directly.
After this, I realized that I need to tell everyone, this is not a spiritual high, and you are not at the highest of your relationship with him AT ALL. So don’t settle, keep searching. GO DEEPER!

you told me this last night, but it's always good to reread something you read at 1 in the morning.
i liked that you pointed out that you waited on him. it makes me think of that song..
"The Lord is good to those,
to those who wait on him"
awesome awesome blog my friend.
alec, your blogs always teach me something new! This one was no different! keep it up, it will be valuable to go back and read it during the school year if you know what i mean.
holy cow dude! lol. thats alot to think about!
This is interesting. I felt two strong feelings after this: the sting of reality and the love of God. Have you ever felt those at the same time? It's heart breaking yet everything you could ever ask for. Good blog. Continue to go deeper and seek God. You'll find Him and I don't know you realize this but not only can you make a diference, you've already started to.
