Jesus culture

i am COMPLETELY blown away.
i don't usually go to fellowship and i thought, what the heck, i should make up for the years of not going and go the rest of the summer (aka the last three weeks before i leave) but what a weekend to go! i mean, fellowship went normally enough, logan brought some friends from agape lynbrook including joe! but yesss
at around 9PM we concluded fellowship and we went to tapex to hang out afterwards and what started as a casual tea outing turned into a five hour discussion about God and the less conservative side of christianity and i have to say my mind is on overdrive right now trying to process everything i just heard. we ended up hanging out until past closing time and we finally got kicked out of tap ex and continued the talk in the parking lot until the cops showed up, so we left for a 24 hour donut place so we wouldn't be loitering
it was insane, i mean i suppose joe did all the talking and we did the listening and the little question asking but i'm completely taken by surprise. when i first met joe three weeks ago, he was a very very quiet guy. but today i saw him in a completely different light. he confessed that he would rather talk about God than anything and i believe it, i have almost never seen anyone of our age speak with such conviction and courage. it's obvious what He can do with willing servants.
anyway, i promised i would spend quality time with Jesus and this was amazing timing. the insight that was shared today, between the 6 of us and eventually, the four of us, made me realize how shallow my faith seems to be, not because i am unwilling but because i am unexposed and not fully seeking Him.
but now it is 2AM and i am kind of sreepy, church tomorrow and i promised i wouldn't be late :/
praise the Lord that logan brought joe today, and that no scary men jumped me on the way home bcus i was really weirded out driving home at 1:45 AM. every time i break curfew, it's for church...shhh :P

good night!
