old school journal 9.10.03

i had mushroom pizza today at lunch. but i'm really writing about last night.

it was an evening spiritual saturation service during the altar time. i've been trying to make the most of every moment. last night i got restless. i had prayed and i just really didnt have much else to say. i tried listening and i wasn't hearing anything. should i go outside and maybe there will be someone that needs some encouragement? i didnt feel any prompting to do anything. so i sat there, not wanting to just sit there, but i felt like that's what i needed to do. someone said something like "isn't this atmosphere wonderful?! isn't it great to sit and relax in the presence of God?!" i remember times when i have felt like that. sitting there doing nothing but listening to the music and the cries of the people and feeling peace. but last night wasnt one of those times.

right now we are in eternity. we cant go backwards in time. we have to do now before we can do what is to come.
