I thought it was just gonna be another day. I really didn't have anything interesting planned, and i was enjoying the thought of sitting on the couch watching movies.
Awesome how God takes your plans and makes them His own. My roommate Chaz was going to make dinner out in Glendale, and i got the opportunity to go with him. I wasn't sure what i was in for, but it was better than sitting around being a lazy bum. So, i headed out and had one of the best Vday experiences of my life.
It turns out i was part of a super secret plot to surprise the girls of Collide with a dinner in their honor at Dave Zareno's parents house. We got there about 4 and spent the next 3 hours preparing. We moved couches blew up 2000000 balloons, a bunch of the guys cooked, and some were making cards and prepping music for the evening's festivities. It was really enjoyable.
I was most intrigued by the fact that it didn't really matter who it was for. I knew it was people that i was acquainted with, but that wasn't the reason i was doing it. I was more happy to be serving anyone. Needless to say it was worth it. The girls got out of the limos that had been rented for them and into the house just in time for us guys to start taking steak and pasta orders. The rest of the night.... well... that's history.
The point is, the more i realize that my job is to be available for God's using as an instrument, the easier it is to go about my day. I have a purpose and i know what it is. The dumb thing is i sometimes don't want to do what i know is right. It conflicts my head and i need it to start a fight with my heart because that's where the change can actually happen. More to come but that's good enough for now.
