I’m at Seth’s house in Norfolk. The guys stayed here last night. What a wonderful family. The father went to Lees-McRae; crazy! And the brother-in-law went to Regent. He and Seth’s sister pastor Living Word Church where we ministered last night. Its amazing to see a family so united. I pray I stay good friends with all these Master’s Commission kids after this is over.
Everybody, the guys and the girls, have started picking on Mary and I. They say our crushes on each other are so obvious. They’ve been giving us a hard time, but we just laugh along and enjoy it.
The thing that gets me most about Mary is her relationship and dedication to God. She is so strong in her faith, and she feels to be so intimate and romantic with him, it even intimidates me. She is a born leader with a romantic spirit towards life!
Tuesday night during the service at Bethel in Pungo, I just sat at the altar seeking God’s will about my career in theater and film. After a while, a man whom I did not see, for my eyes were closed, laid his hands on my head and God spoke through him to me. He told me he would take me beyond what I had envisioned for my future, to lean not on my own understanding, and to follow him.
I cried. Then I took a walk in the parking lot under a full red moon and listened to the frogs. The word gave me a new level of trust. I feel called to do a work, but it may not be forever, it may just be for a season, and there is something else beyond that work.
July has begun. Will I have finished my Master’s degree by this time next year? The last 4th of July was spent with David and Colleen on a swing by windy riverbank in Colerain, NC.
I wonder if Mary and I are just two lonely Christians forced to spend a lot of time together, or is it something deeper and divine?
Will I ever have a wall with pictures of my children hanging on it?
What will happen to me when I step off the plane in Los Angeles?
I talked to Dan and Lindy the other morning. They told me that Curtis and his girlfriend Megan are planning on getting married next August. That sent me for a whirl. And they said Allen and Jessica are talking about getting engaged over Christmas. Lindy is looking into moving to Houston for a theater gig, Dan might go to Denver for YWAM, and Vince may go back to Guatemala.
Seth just came up.
Its time for breakfast.
