My perspective has been so positive lately that I cannot believe it for a second. Sure, I'm living it and I am really excited that I am in a happy time in my life after the month of depression, but I am just SO happy, it's unreal....rather unbelievable....hense the title. :P
Anyway, I had the most amazing day in a long time. I mean a LONG time. Right now I cannot even remember when I was this happy---so it was probably when I was a little girl.
Today was my traffic court date; I got lost and had a "Oh my gosh!" moment with my mom in the car (if it wasn't for her I would have never found the court!!) Anyway, so I wait in this really long line--btw, the only place where you get the feeling of being in an airport and a DMV at the same time is in a county courthouse...lol
Seriously, when I got to the window I had two options, pay the fine, sign up for traffic school and be on my way or try to petition the ticket and wait for HOURS to see a judge to plede my case. Honestly, I was speeding, so I paid it, signed up for traffic school and went on with my life...
What's so great about that? You might ask...I didn't have to stand in front of a judge like my dad told me I had to! I was SO nervous, it was a relief that all I had to do was pay and then leave! (And, yes I learned my lesson---NO SPEEDING!)
But that wasn't the best part of my day.
This was:
I recieved a notice on my Facebook page that a friend, who I will keep anonimous because I didn't get his permission to blog about him. I had been going to school with him for a long time, and although I never saw him much on campus, I would try and talk with him, he was very much misunderstood, and someone who repelled Christianity.
Today I found out and had an hour long or so conversation with him about Christianity. After high school I had lost contact with him, and during that time he became a Christian, he turned away from drugs and his anger problem was gone because of Jesus!! And now, even after only being a Christian 2 1/2 years, hes going to school to become a Pastor!!! I was smiling so much with my conversations with him; IT WAS "UN-BE-FREAKIN'-LIEVABLE!!!!"
I've got to admit, it was a bit weird talking Christianity with him, but that just made my day. Absolutely made my day--made my week, most likely made my month, that's how excited I am to hear about him and what's been goin' on with him. He even emailed me his full testimony! So amazing, his story is. Absolutely crazy! And at only 2 1/2 years of being a Christian embrasing persecution for believing in Christ!! (I've been a Christian for my entire life, relapsing once, and I am NOW JUST starting to embrace persecution for Jesus' sake.)
Anyway, I just wanted to share my AWESOME day today and I am wishing that all of you are havin' a great day in Christ Jesus!
God Bless you all!!
