rumor destroyed.

its raining mad hard and i cant sleep so ill write.If you havent heard the news I got a new phone. No this isn't a rumor. haha get it. cause my old phone was a rumor. Anyhoo. i ordered it in the mail and hadn't activated it had my numbers transfered over extra for 6 days. why would I wait? My old phone had some issues. ok alot of issues. The light didnt work in it, The keypad didnt work etc. but I knew it extensively. I knew how to set the calendar, use EZ tip calculator, I was familar with the ringtone I had for 2 years. You get the picture I knew this phone. so even though it barely worked and wasn't reliable (wouldn't even always turn on) I couldn't let it go. I knew I was upgrading to a new phone that was more reliable, fully functioning but there was something about the security of the known. It was reliably unreliable and I had accepted that. I had accepted its quirks and although they bothered me I accepted them and moved on. so heres what went down

Tuesday was also pouring down rain when I was driving to campus. It was bad like traffic, accidents etc. Well I parked in an overflow lot and had 4 minutes to walk to class and I was walking on this sidewalk when a truck flew by hit a MAJOR HUGE puddle that like waterfalled over me. Im talking about my head my arms my feet I was covered. Like out of a movie I didn't know that actually happens to people.so glad I have a speech to present today... well folks my (old) phone was in my hand. I preceded to go to class cold but realized after class that when i went to text it went to contacts instead. and when I went to call it picked which numbers it wanted. My phone was reliable about its quirks this was a whole new world. I didn't know how to operate it. So after classes were done for the day I went to the store and activated my phone. bc the part hooks into works I got all my numbers transfered.

so whats the point in this long drawn out story you ask?

My phone my hanging by a thread, I knew there was something for me better out there but I couldn't let my old phone go. Familiarity won out over a brand new phone.
The bible says when you accept the Lord into your heart you become a new creation which means the old has gone and the new has come. The new creation you become is better then the old and all the sins and failures and faults are given to the Lord when you let him in to your heart. I knew that my new phone was a better phone. It was reliable, fully functioning etc. but we cling onto what we know. in faith we jump. We jump into the arms of love becoming a new creation because we know we the gift of salvation is deep and wide and so wonderful that its aprox 2354646856763 times better then the old life. My new phone trumps my old phone. so glad I had to give it up because now I have something better. but i had to give up my old phone in order to have my new phone. We have to lay down our lives daily. its totally worth it. I love the new phone and I love my Jesus.
