Do you guys know who Adrian Despres is? He's here in Spartanburg doing this series called Defending Your Faith. I love this guy to death. He has such a passion, and he really does know the Bible. He quotes verses just like that. We had a talk, and he told me I needed to find someone to pray with, and dude, I ran and got Lauren right then. We asked God to send us some girls we could really bond with and dump out our problems with so we don't have to deal with stuff alone. She said she had no idea I felt that way, and I was just reminded that "you have not because you ask not." I isolate myself so much. Even though I have people online, Adrian seemed really adamant that I find some girls here, and I know I will, because God isn't going to leave me hanging on this. He's tried to tell me this before. And I know I've tried to find some girls before, and it goes good for a while. But then I want to go deeper, and they don't, and they leave me.

Anyway...the guy really knows the Word...and he told me I was too wonderful to be so hard on myself. He told me God says that, and I know He does. I think it's what really hits me about this guy. He really knows God and He listens to God and he doesn't mind putting what God says out there, even some of the more controversial things.

Anyway, I'm gonna stop talking and read my Bible, then I'm going to write down some more questions to ask Adrian tomorrow night.

Edit: Oh, and if you have a question you want me to ask him, tell me and I will! I'll be seeing him tomorrow and Wednesday.

"We asked God to send us some girls we could really bond with and dump out our problems with"

How old you again? I did not get your age but uhm...when I was 20, I was in church and the pastor was saying that "as you draw closer to God, you would see that the people sorrounding you, would be like you. A believer"

And it happened...but it falters too. I had that very special experience of sort of a private show. He performed the miracle of having some of my super unbelieving friends call upon His name.

"he doesn't mind putting what God says out there, even some of the more controversial things."

As for that...well, some people, like myself have chosen to take the "living as an example" road, rather than talking. Sometimes I talk too. If the spirit is with me, I can declare things, and be unshakable. Sometimes more than be encouraging to people, talking turns them away, and also it depends on your personality.

I wish you all the best missy.
