After hours... in the library

So, Michael Buster, Lydia, and I probably had the coolest conversation in the library ever. It was so spontaneous and random, but so divinely inspired at the same time. It started with a discussion about Orientalism and the ways in which Asians are subverted today though in ways subtle and unseen. But what I saw tonight was something so special. I saw a camaraderie and transformation that was so unique and so birthed out the heart of God. The conversations we have are sparking a transformation in our hearts that going to affect the world. Our systems of church, education, politics, and whatever have been forming and shaping people to think one way and be one kind of model. But God is doing something special in which I believe He is going to change the way we think about the church that is going to transform the rest of society. When we come to understand the fullness of who we have been created to be, we will walk in freedom knowing what God wants to do. There is still so much healing that needs to take place in each of hearts, but we are moving one step closer. I don't know what to say, but transformation is taking place in the after hours in places like the library. Relationships are being developed in the places that our lives intersect. They are being developed around homework of all things. Out of this simple thing has come conversations that will forever change our lives and will be the starting point of things to come. This was definitely a refreshment to me tonight. Ya, I have finals and stuff tomorrow morning. But when it's all said in done, the things that were spoken here tonight will go so much further. God is working on people's hearts and is setting us free to step into the fullness He offers us. There's something about this library. Intercession is the key. Let's press in and pray. God is moving in peoples hearts in a very special way.
