1999

It is an interesting phenomenon to mourn the loss of someone I never met in person. 

Charlie Kirk was someone I admired so much and I fell in love with the art & intellect of debating because of him. I loved his faith and I loved his patriotism. He was on my list of people I wanted to meet. 3-4 weeks before September 10th was a stir in my spirit and I felt that I was being prepared for an awakening. My spirit was so heavy, and I had an earnest and insistent prayer in my heart, “Lord I want to be found faithful.” 

All morning Levi was insisting on going to the library to look for his transformer toy that he lost (almost 2 months ago) my only reply was, “Levi I’m sorry but the toy is gone.” Well this kid would not quit, he demanded “we have to go to the library now!!!!” Honestly I rolled my eyes but then I started to think, ‘what if…?’ So I said, “Levi let’s pray and ask Jesus to help us find your transformer.” We get to the library and I ask for their lost & found. I look through their small box and behold: Levi’s bumblebee transformer  I sat and cried right in the middle of that library. 

Reminded me of Luke 5- Jesus said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But AT YOUR WORD, I’ll let the nets down again.” And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear!”
