Words of Encouragement

Hello to all my fellow blog followers (<-dang that is hard to say) and to the few random strangers who have stumbled upon my personal website. I am glad if you are reading this because what I have to say might be of some encouragement to you.

Have you ever had a moment when you were driving in your car alone, and you just felt like praying out loud? These moments may not come regularly for some, including myself, however, tonight I was truly blessed to have this intimate time with my Lord and Savior. For some reason, I felt like praying. It was really out of the blue too! As I was on my way home from hanging out a friends house located in the valley (8 1 8), I was on the 118 freeway, middle of the night, and I was coming over this hill. As I reached the top of the hill leading into Simi Valley, I saw the vast city lights all around me. A very cathartic moment, I inhaled then exhaled deeply, and with eyes open, I began to pray out loud! A song came on soon after, and to no surprise it was "How He Loves", sung by David Crowder. It was really amazing to talk with my Lord, praising Him for all that He has done in my life. I prayed for my friends, family, friends of family, and also myself. I called out peoples names who I barely even knew! I prayed for the food he daily provides for me, the air I breathe, the trees that provide the air I breathe, and everything else on this planet that I have taken advantage of. I gave praise and honor to Jesus Christ who died for my sins, for your sins, for all of our sins, and in this one moment, I truly glorified Him!

But although this time of prayer I had was a very intimate time with my Lord, I came to realize that I needed more of this. And so I am writing this blog to you all, to remind you if you haven't been reminded already, or even if you pray alot, that we should find any moment that we have and spend it with our Father(in the car for example), to pray and just talk with Him. I was truly blessed by talking with Him and I am going to try and make it a more regular thing. Go Jesus!

Through God's fervent love,
Robert
