(I'm not putting names, because no one needs to know who these people are. I just want to share what God has done with me! 
)
God tested me big time just recentley. A friend of mine was here with me, we were drinking and barbequeing and enjoying ourselves. Well another friend starting drinking too much... and I prayed he would slow down. Then he went riding with my other friends wife in a car to go look for a little store, and he was causing a lot of problems because of his drunkeness. Well, she came back because I told her to and picked me up. While we were gone, my friend started drinking even MORE. When I got back, my dad and my friend said, "Man, you have to do something about him. He's cursing us, not listening, drinking when we tell him to stop..." it fustrated me. It moved me.
As SOON as I opened my door to come inside, he threw up on himself. I was very upset then. I told him to get up, and get out. Then after a few minutes my dad came inside and told me he had walked away... just left. My dad said, "If he walks too far he'll get ran over or something!" I told my dad that if he wanted to drink like a man he could walk it off like a man. Time passed by... he didn't show up. I started to worry a little. So me and my other friends wife got in the car and started looking around for him... we did that for 30 minutes. I was stressed.
Finally... we found him in my back yard, under some bushes. The first few times I kicked him... I thought he was dead. It was heartbreaking. But he was just hungover really bad. Well... I woke him up and made him lay down in my truck bed so he could sleep it off. Later we talked about it, he apologized, and cleaned up his mess.
ANYWAY, the morale is... something like that, a few years ago, would have been a totally different experience. I used to have no patience, no forgiveness for people who hurt me... it's just AMAZING what God can do for someone who loves Him! He seriously... truly... He's my best friend, my love, the one and only I want.
I just wanted to share that with everyone here. I know some of you like me. =p
Love forever! =)
