greatest 45 min of my life

so this is a short post about a jog that i did. it was late at night and pretty much every one had gone to bed. i took my zune, cranked the David Crowder Band, and jogged between the dorms/room where we slept and the house of the people hosting us. there was no lighting in site, except the stars and the moonlight. it is about half a kilometer between the dorm and the house and it was very uphill towards the house. so i started out. the temperature was perfect, the moon was bright, the stars were beautiful, and i was surrounded by nature and Gods creation. as i kept jogging back and forth i was overcome with emotion and couldnt help but cry out to God. i was literally in tears as i kept on jogging. i was just in this state of worship that i wanted to never end. i kept jogging until i felt like my legs were going to collapse, but then i just kept walking. it was just amazing. these words do not do justice to the way i felt. but after about 40 minutes of this i was drenched in sweat and i lied down in the middle of a field where i tried to take it all in. then i went to the "bathing station" where i poured freezing cold water all over myself to bathe. it felt so cold and yet so good. that is no doubt the best 45 minutes of my life

  1. Hi Sean,

    Looks like you are well and experiancing some of the most transforming moments of your life. I know life must be hard and being a teenager who grew up in the America of a million distractions it must be good to be some where life is simple. You begin to see for people who have nothing a simple visit,conversation or basic meal is so precious. God be with you. come home to us safe and a better man.
